  • Bradley Roby, who’s missed some practice time in recent weeks and wore a sleeve on his knee yesterday, was scheduled to appear at interviews but did not show up. Roby is day-to-day, Fickell said. He's still rehabbing. Buckeyes are hopeful to have him match up against Sammy Watkins.
  • If Roby can’t go, Armani Reeves will start.
Missing our second and third best defensive players (and best at their position group) could be devastating given the state of our defense.

I think DE won't suffer as much with the loss of Spence as CB will with Roby out. Frankly, Watkins lining up against Reeves scares the shit out of me...

Roby hasn't exactly been a difference maker this season but Reeves has been downright awful.

I think that the staff has to go into this game thinking that Clemson scores at least 52 points.

Need to score at least 53 to win.

EDIT I actually don't think it makes a difference. Watkins would own Roby and he'll own Reeves worse.

How can Reeves get a shot before Burrows.... I'm just stunned by that. Burrows looked more than passable against IU. I understand he's going to be a liability but we know Reeves is a huge liability...unless we're going back to the whole Field Corner vs Boundary Corner from 2012

The one thing I keep debating about next season is both cornerback positions being open to competition (even Doran Grant's position). I'm wondering if the coaching staff would put Grant's position up for grabs.
