For the Ohio State Twitter account, it became almost a game.
With the general public acutely aware of the COVID-19 positives within the football program ahead of the Michigan State matchup two weeks ago, the social media team released a selection of photos in the days leading up to the Buckeyes taking the field that either happened to obscure the identities of players or featured underclassmen who don’t play much. Cade Stover, Cody Simon or Xavier Johnson were among those included in photos blasted off to social media. Then, the night before the game versus the Spartans, the social media team quelled the fears of some by sending out a photo of a masked Justin Fields walking onto the East Lansing-bound flight.
