What must Ohio State’s new DT starters have to do to be ready for Oklahoma?
Let’s be frank, outside of a “greedy” pass that led to a pick-six for Bowling Green, very little went truly wrong for Ohio State in its opening 77-10 victory over the Falcons on Saturday. The lone exception might be the devastating injury to starting defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle.
The junior lineman had worked his way from Urban Meyer’s doghouse to a starting position, having proven himself after immaturity plagued his early days in Columbus. A vital cog in the 2015 defense, Sprinkle looked to be one of the few experienced veterans on that side of the ball for the 2016 Buckeyes, and was poised to have a breakout season.
