It feels like we’re getting mildly ahead of ourselves when it comes to the 2015 OSU football season. There’s good reason for that. Namely, this. But there are still plenty of question marks. The foremost among them probably has to do with the offensive line, but the running backs aren’t far behind (both literally and figuratively).
OSU’s running game has always been imperative to its offensive identity. Use the pass to set up the run. That certainly works much better when you have NFL-like talent standing next to the quarterback in the backfield. OSU has had that kind of talent in the last five years.
