Ohio State Spring Game Recap and Post-Spring Lineup Projection


Listen Later

Spring football is complete at Ohio State, which means it’s time to wrap it all up and project ahead to how it will all translate to the games that count this fall.

We begin this week’s episode by discussing everything that stood out to us in Saturday’s spring game, including a not-great but not-terrible performance by Kyle McCord, the offensive line remaining Ohio State’s biggest problem, the defense continuing to show improvement and impressive performances from young Buckeyes like C.J. Hicks, Sonny Styles, Carnell Tate and Hero Kanu.

Later, we project what Ohio State’s starting lineup would look like right now and which non-starters we also expect to see significant playing time for the Buckeyes this fall.

Finally, we discuss Ohio State men’s basketball’s newest transfer addition and why the Buckeyes could still be in the market for one more transfer.

The rundown for our post-spring episode of Real Pod Wednesdays:
