Out of necessity, a sea change in Ohio State's offensive identity is coming

It's going to be nigh-impossible for the Ohio State Buckeyes to replace the unique talent that was Ezekiel Elliott. That won't stop them from trying. With the 2016 season almost half a year away, there's still a lot of uncertainty about how Urban Meyer will structure his backfield. There's senior Bri'onte Dunn, who has toiled in relative obscurity behind Elliott and Carlos Hyde in his Buckeye career. There's Mike Weber, a redshirt freshman from Detroit's Cass Tech built in the mold of Elliott and Hyde. There's Dontre Wilson, who might really be healthy, really, and finally ready to put it all together.
