There weren’t any major surprises in terms of who saw the most playing time for Ohio State in the season-ending Rose Bowl against Washington on Tuesday.
Even though the Buckeyes had a month between their penultimate game – the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern – and Tuesday’s season finale in Pasadena, which they won by a score of 28-23, they didn’t make any drastic changes to their lineup.
Joshua Alabi filled in at left tackle and Wyatt Davis filled in at right guard for Thayer Munford and Demetrius Knox, who missed the Rose Bowl due to injuries, but otherwise, the Buckeyes’ lineups and rotation looked essentially the same as they did in the Big Ten Championship Game and during the regular season.
