Skill abounding on offense
It’s one thing to have a quarterback who is the dude and can win games almost on his own. It’s another to surround the dude with weapons that keep defenses on their heels with playmakers on multiple fronts. Ohio State is the latter.
Yes, Fields will get a lot of the accolades — as he should — this fall, but he’ll also have the luxury of spreading the ball around to one of the most talented wide receiver units in the country. The collective is young but extremely gifted and versatile. Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson are known commodities that will lead the charge, but the receivers go to and sometimes three deep without much of a dropoff.
Aside from that, it looks like OSU will also have a deadly one-two punch at running back with Trey Sermon and Master Teague, and safety valves Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert at tight end to mess around with.
This offense is going to be fun to watch, but more importantly, extremely hard to stop.
