I know, and I get it; the 2022 Ohio State spring football game was little more than a team preview and a potentially false preview, at that. Written-in-pen starters were missing and/or played very little, much of the depth chart was thrown out in favor of experimentation, and at the end of the day, we’re still talking about players and coaches who are not yet familiar with each other.
The scrimmage was more of an early dress rehearsal, designed to get the juices flowing a little bit, see new players in a quasi-game environment, and put on a show for fans.
