What was an incredibly young team just a few years ago under Urban Meyer is now a seasoned, veteran-laden squad as Ohio State gets set to embark on the first year of the Ryan Day era.
The depth of experience should serve the team well while Day gets his feet wet as the permanent head coach while his plethora of new assistant coaches do the same.
This fall, no less than 12 seniors – including seven fifth-year guys – will be play vital roles and it's looking like at least a dozen juniors will also be key cogs in the Buckeyes machine.
