Once again, there were no major changes to the Ohio State depth chart as they prepare for Big Ten action. Within the last week, the injury bug has affected two Buckeye players and while they didn’t appear on the two-deep both of them have received playing time this year. The first player is redshirt freshman wide receiver K.J. Hill who had two catches on the season for 59 yards and one touchdown. Hill will be out 3-4 weeks and will have a lot of ground to make-up going into the heart of their schedule if he wants to see the field again. The second player who was injured was redshirt freshman Justin Hilliard who will be lost for the season. Hilliard had tallied four tackles on the year and was one of the back-ups at Weakside Linebacker.

There were no changes to the offensive depth chart. While there continues to be a number of “OR’s” we pretty much know who is starting by now.

The biggest question mark come game time for the defense is the status of Dante Booker. He has been out for the past two weeks and was replaced by Jerome Baker who played great. If Booker misses this game, Baker will step in once again. For the first time, Baker is actually listed as the “OR” at this position.

No changes to special teams this week. After being the kick returner against Oklahoma, I expected Parris Campbell to make the list but that would mean actually updating the depth chart.
