Typically, a bye week smack dab in the middle of the regular season would be a prime opportunity for us to hand out report card grades to each unit of the Ohio State football team.
As well as the Buckeyes have played so far this year, though, that would be hard to do. Ohio State has been the most complete team in college football, winning each of its first six games by at least 24 points. As a collective, the Buckeyes certainly deserve an A, and truly, downgrading other position groups would just be nitpicking.
That doesn’t mean, though, that we can’t still take a closer look at how each position group has performed so far this season, what roles each of them have played in the Buckeyes’ success, which players have stood out in each position group and what question marks or potential areas of improvement still remain for each group going into the second half of the regular season.
