With the first game of the season now in the books, we should now have a better idea of which Ohio State players will see the most playing time this season – and conversely, which Buckeyes might have to continue to wait their turn.
A total of 71 Ohio State players – some much more than others, but all for at least one play on offense, defense and/or special teams – saw the field in the Buckeyes’ season opener against Oregon State on Saturday, as their 77-31 victory over the Beavers gave them the opportunity to get many of their backups some playing time in the first game of the season.
