During this football offseason, I’ve been writing about the aspects of Ohio State football that I’m looking forward to for next season. There’s a lot to be excited about: returning stars, new coaches, the momentum from the Rose Bowl. Obstacles pop up, though, and today I’m going to flip things and write about my worries – or my dreads – those things that have in the past disrupted a season and dashed high hopes and could do so again.
Obviously, there could be occurrences that we can’t anticipate and, therefore, don’t worry about. I’m not afraid of meteorites hitting the Buckeye practice field or of an earthquake tumbling Ohio Stadium to the ground.
