Ohio State Football: Evaluating the Buckeyes' Most Important Position Battles

Ohio State officially kicked off its spring practice on Tuesday, and Urban Meyer set out on the enormous task of replacing the 16 starters he lost from last year's team.

The Buckeyes, fresh off a 12-1 2015 campaign that actually fell short of their enormous expectations, will look completely different this fall without superstars Ezekiel Elliott, Joey Bosa and Darron Lee suiting up for the Scarlet and Gray.

With so many holes to fill before kicking off the 2016 season against Bowling Green this September, Meyer is anticipating more competition than he's seen during his 15-year head coaching career.
