Going into the season-opener against Minnesota, the expected starters in the Ohio State football team’s secondary were Sevyn Banks, Cameron Brown, Marcus Williamson or Latham Ransom, and Josh Proctor. The Buckeyes were without both projected starters at corner, Banks, and Brown.
This forced Ohio State to play second and third-strings at corner the entire night.
