Formulating an answer

Maybe more troubling than the secondary is the wholesale losses at linebacker. Ohio State loses its top four on the depth chart with Baron Browning, Justin Hilliard, Pete Werner, and Tuf Borland all looking to further their careers in the NFL. It’s going to be a green and developing group and guys like Teradja Mitchell, Dallas Gant, Cody Simon, and Tommy Eichenberg will all need to step up.

NEXT … Are we going to see a breakout season from the defensive ends?
