You ask, we answer. Sometimes we ask, others answer. And then other times, we ask, we answer.
Throughout the Ohio State football season, we will be asking and answering questions about the team, college football, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance. If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can tweet us @LandGrant33 or if you need more than 280 characters, send an email HERE.
Buckeye fans, it’s time to get your prognosticating hats out of the closet and start making some predictions about some of your Scarlet and Gray favorites as the second half of preseason camp moves forward. In this week’s fan survey, we want to check in and assess your thoughts on which players will make the biggest differences on OSU’s season.
So, check out the questions below and then fill out the survey at the bottom of the article.
Ohio State’s roster looks markedly different today than the way that many Buckeye fans imagined that it would eight months ago. Not only did a significant number of NFL-caliber players opt to return for another year in Columbus, but Ryan Day brought in a handful of highly impactful players via the transfer portal.
At this point, it appears nearly set that at least four — but probably five — transfers will make it into the starting lineup, assuming that you consider Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson co-starters in the backfield. So, we wanted to know which player who was on a different college football team last season you think will have the biggest impact on OSU this year.
The easy answer is Will Howard since the quarterback is almost always going to be the most influential player on any team. However, given all of the offensive firepower, will his contributions to the team really make a huge difference above replacement? What about having a second top-flight running back to pair with the injury0prone Henderson? Obviously, we can’t ignore the best safety — and perhaps defensive player — in the country. Will putting an experienced center in the middle of the offensive line make a major difference for the unit? What about adding in a quality tight end who can help out in blocking?
Let us know where your head is at in the survey below.
Now this one is a little more complicated than the transfer questions and not only because there are a ton more options. You also have to consider what you think qualifies someone to be named a team’s Most Valuable Player.
There are so many players who could — and likely will — have massive years for the Buckeyes, it is tough to single in on just one, but that’s what we’re asking you to do. So, when all is said and done, and the Bucks are hoisting the College Football Playoff championship trophy, who will fans and historians alike look back on as the player who was most responsible for making it all happen?
We included 16 different options, but obviously there are even more who could qualify, so if your pick isn’t listed in the survey below, feel free to write them in using the comments at the bottom of the page.
Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ohio State fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
