After a rough start to his sophomore season, perhaps a number change will put Denzel Burke in the right mindset to finish the year strong.
The sophomore cornerback will sport No. 10 on Saturday in Ohio State's matchup with Rutgers after starting the year wearing No. 5 as one of the Buckeyes' starters in the defensive backfield.
Denzel Burke is wearing No. 10 today instead of the No. 5 hes previously worn this season.

Burke couldn't put together consistent performances Ohio State's first three games, allowing several big plays and racking up a handful of pass interference penalties against Notre Dame, Arkansas State and Toledo.
