Chris Holtmann says he hasn’t read the preseason magazines. He says he hasn’t delved into the offseason projections.
But he knows. He knows that more is expected of his team this season than in the prior two preseasons at Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have found themselves among the top five teams in the Big Ten in most projections, with some going as far as to place them in the top 10 nationally.
