Josh Proctor has been so important as Ohio State’s utility man in the secondary that his absence loomed large before kickoff at Michigan State.
Did his absence actually help the Buckeyes figure some things out? https://t.co/Rn8d1fHJ6d pic.twitter.com/deD4UiRXSH— Nathan Baird (@nwbaird) December 10, 2020
Obviously Ohio State is going to want their best players on the field as much as possible. That wasn’t possible last week against Michigan State, when 23 players were missing due to testing positive for COVID-19, contract tracing, or injury. Even without so many players who saw regular playing, the Buckeyes didn’t let the losses hold them back.
