Average would have made him the best OL against Missouri

That’s IF he could have performed at the highest level. He hadn’t shown he was even average against most teams. He struggled more often than not.

CARSON HINZMAN NOT DWELLING ON COTTON BOWL BENCHING, VIEWS LAST SEASON AS “DEVELOPMENTAL YEAR” AS HE COMPETES FOR STARTING CENTER JOB AGAIN​

Carson Hinzman’s first playing season at Ohio State ended on an inauspicious note.

After starting all 12 of the Buckeyes’ regular-season games at center, Hinzman didn’t play a single snap in the Cotton Bowl. Matt Jones, who had been the Buckeyes’ starting right guard all season, slid over to center for the season finale against Missouri while Enokk Vimahi took Hinzman’s place at right guard.

Even though Ohio State’s offensive line struggled mightily throughout its season-ending 14-3 loss, the Buckeyes never put Hinzman in the game. Ryan Day said after the game that Hinzman had been “having a tough time the last couple of weeks in practice,” prompting the decision to replace him in the lineup for the bowl game.

Three months later, Hinzman says he has no hard feelings about the benching.

“The decision that the coaches made, I fully supported. I fully support what's best for the team at the time. And that's what it was,” Hinzman said Monday in his first interview session since the Cotton Bowl. “I don't really read anything too much into it. But that's the decision they made and all I could do is get ready and compete for this next year.”
