Ohio State’s cornerback situation didn’t cost it against Wisconsin, and it’s not likely to negatively impact Saturday’s matchup with Rutgers’ 111th-ranked passing offense.
Considering the ongoing injury issues and general lack of depth at the position, though, it will remain among the biggest question marks on the roster until Ohio State’s corners are tested by an elite pass attack at some point this season.
The Buckeyes were down both starters for the Big Ten opener as Denzel Burke and Cameron Brown sat out with ailments, and Jordan Hancock’s continued absence – which stems from a “significant” preseason injury – left Ohio State with just three scholarship corners against the Badgers.
