In 2014 Ed Warinner had to completely rebuild the Ohio State offensive line as four starters had graduated. This year Greg Studrawa faces a similar task as four players who played most of the snaps last season at their respective positions have moved on.
However, the situation looks far more promising now than five years ago.
Coach Warinner had to hope former three star recruits and players who began their Ohio State careers on the other side of the ball could fill in the holes and provide some depth. That over-achieving unit became one of the best in the country in the run to the National Championship, but would anybody have laid money on that being the case in May of 2014?
