1) DE Sam Hubbard Tr Jr 6'5" 265
Concensus 5* 26 games played. #1 player out of Ohio. Scout rated him #2 OLB Nationally and ESPN rated him (#37). Leading tackler and lead team in sacks and tackles for loss last year.
2) DT DreMont Jones RS So 6'3" 295
Concensus 4* ESPN (#161) Considered #1 DL prospect out of Ohio. Coming off a breakout season in 2016 when he moved into a starting DT role after filling in for Tracy Sprinkle. He then was a 12 game starter and joins Dan Wilkinson (10 starts) an Luke Fickell (12 starts) with double digit starts as a freshman in Ohio St. history.
3) DT Tracy Sprinkle RS So 6'3" 293
Concensus 4* 17 starts at OSU
HS was in the ESPN 300
4) DE Tyquan Lewis Rs Sr 6'4" 265
Concensus 4* Reigning Big 10 DL of the year. 5th year Sr who has played in 41 games, starting 26 times.
5) DE Nick Bosa So 6'4" 270
Concensus 5* Named this years Big 10 DL of the year. In HS, ranked #3 on ESPN 300 list.
Put three DE's on this list because these guys get the bulk of snaps and often are deployed on passing downs with a DT coming off the field.
Also, this is a veteran, deep OL and DL. Great rush team. It will be interesting if we get off throwing the quick pass game, screens, reverses or anything else to slow the rush. Obviously, one of the keys to this game is 1st down yards. keepig on schedule and staying out of 3rd and long as much as possible.
On offense, Ohio St. runs a Tight/Inside Zone Read (undergirds a Urban Meyer offense) and this play is run in some games as often as every other play combined. They run Counter Trey. They run Power or what they call "Dave." And they run an Inverted Veer/ Power Read. The blocking schemes are really cool.
I can put Stanford OL and DL up as well. They really don't compare except for Harrison Phillips DT, who is a total stud. Could start anywhere.
That's it...hope you like it.
