Twelve months ago, the No. 1 question facing Ohio State outside of who its next quarterback would be was how it would build a championship-caliber offensive line after losing two All-American tackles and a sound starter at center.
Twelve months have passed and those questions haven't been resolved.
While some strides were taken up front over the course of the year, the Buckeyes had their worst performance of the season in the Cotton Bowl, rushing for a meager 2.9 yards per carry while allowing four sacks and eight quarterback hurries to Missouri’s front. The Tigers piled up 10 total tackles for loss.
