Ohio State Football: Two units that must progress this spring

That’s because elite recruits have joined the Ohio State football team, and with player development by great coaches have made reloading seem easy, even though it is not.

The team is about a week away from beginning formal spring practices. For the veterans, it is a time to refine their strengths. For the rest, it is time to separate themselves from the pack.

Last spring, there were worries about linebacker and offensive line, units that were underperforming and lacking depth. Now both units are core strengths heading into 2020.

Quarterback was certainly an issue too. it was just easier to feel comfortable in Justin Fields becoming an immediate star with Ryan Day at the helm.
