I didn’t know whether to put this tweet in the offense or defense thread since it pertained to both. So I put it here. OSU has lost a bunch of veteran talent, but what’s being lost to most of the national media is that the new starters were on the team last year and all got actual game reps. Guys like MacDonald, Reese, Curry, Jackson, Matthew and Inniss have all been with the program for multiple years and have been hungry for an actual shot at real PT. 2 QBs who will be 1st time FT starters but have been with program as well and know what Day and Hartline will expect.
Add in the experienced transfers like: Onianwa, Atkinson, Klare, and Donaldson who have played D1 CFB as starters to fill in much needed vacancies. And then throw in 2 of the most talented players in the country in JJ and Caleb. Theres very few teams in the country I see with as much talent top to bottom. Not to mention, HUNGRY talent who want to be the 1st OSU team in 4yrs to beat scUM.
