Spring Football Gives Us A Fleeting Glimpse Into the Future Before the Long, Dark Offseason

Here's the thing though: this set of spring practices was about a lot more than Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell and Joe Burrow. In a lot of really significant ways, Ohio State is going to look a lot different in 2018 than they did in 2017, and spring ball showed exactly how different it might end up being.
