Formulating an answer

We’ve been waiting for both Zach Harrison and Tyreke Smith to become the game-wreckers we all thought they would be. It’s not like both have been a disappointment, but we haven’t seen that fast-twitch explosion and big-play consistency we have been anticipating. If it’s going to happen, it feels like next year is the time for it all to come together for both. Smith will be a senior, and Harrison a junior. OSU needs some dominant play on the line and at the edge rusher positions to help out a retooling defense.
