Heading into the 2019 season a perceived weakness on the Ohio State football team was the linebacker unit. That’s no longer the case.

One of the weak links on the Ohio State football team in 2018 was the play of the linebackers. It was thought by many they were too slow.

There is no way that could be the case, Urban Meyer never recruited slow linebackers.
