The Buckeyes' only available returning starter on the defensive line will need to make plays against Virginia Tech.
The Buckeyes' defensive front line has a new look this season with the departures of do-it-all DT Michael Bennett and DE platoon-mates Rashad Frazier and Steve Miller. On top of that, you may have heard that destroyer of worlds Joey Bosa is suspended for Ohio State's opener against Virginia Tech. With those pieces all in motion, your defensive player to watch for week one is defensive tackle Adolphus Washington.
