I think the main issues will be DBs and OL.

Our DL has decent experience with Hubbard, Lewis and Holmes at DE getting significant time along with Hill, Munger, et al that have been shuffling through at DT.

Both safeties and a corner is tough to replace and we lose our DB coach. We will get torched.

Jalin Marshall is the biggest surprise to me. I haven't really seen anything on projections for him, but I'd have to think he could significantly improve his value with one more year. Felt like next year was going to be his year. Regardless, wish them all the best.

Who in the BIG has the talent or coaching to challenge OSU? Michigan maybe, but they will need one more class to match up. Oklahoma can't match up physically, but they can be troublesome early in the year for a young team. OSU will be fine. They'll win the BIG and at least 12 games next year.

I believe they're losing 13 scholarship seniors.

Next years senior class sits at 5 right now so it will be a very young team. Probably even younger than perpetually young Tennessee.

You could be right. Hopefully they'll perform to their expectations.

Ohio State runs a 21st century offense which should help. They have talent and a guy to distribute to the talent. He just needs time and someone to catch.

If the offense clicks we can break in the talented but raw defense more easily since the pressure won't be on them to hold a team to 10 points.

They have nothing to worry about in that conference. They might not win it, but the conference doesn't have enough good teams to embarrass them. Urban wouldn't be able to handle next season in the SEC. He'll hold up just fine in the BIG.

SEC delusion riding high again

The SECE is a dumpster fire.

Michigan and Michigan State are the only 2 teams even capable of a potential win against a NC contending team. I'm 80% sure Alabama would run through the BIG with ZERO problem if they were in OSU's shoes. And even then, I don't think those teams could play on the same field with Alabama. Hell, we know Michigan State can't.

And don't they lose everyone too? Michigan should be the only game where losing is even an option.

Those teams are bad at football, though.
