Ohio State started a pair of fifth-year seniors last year at guard in Malcolm Pridgeon and Demetrius Knox, which means that they must now both be replaced. Last season was the first as a starter for Pridgeon, and it produced mixed results. When he was good, the entire offense was better for it. Consistency was an issue…

Ohio State offensive line coach Greg Studrawa doesn’t know yet exactly what his starting offensive line is going to be this year.

Ohio State has created a new college football standard with the cornerback rotation they have used the last two seasons.
