Two Key Players For Ohio State
Thayer Munford – Offensive Tackle: It starts in the trenches. Munford and the entire offensive line need to come out and show why they were considered one of the best units in the country when they play Tulsa on Saturday. Munford is the leader and captain and needs to rally the troops. The running game needs holes that will then open the passing game for Stroud.

Cody Simon – Linebacker: It’s been a while since Ohio State has had outstanding linebacker play. Simon is starting to show signs of becoming an impact player and it might be time for him to be on the field the majority of the game. Inexplicably, Kerry Coombs had Simon on the sidelines during some key plays against Oregon. If the Buckeye defense can’t keep Tulsa in check, it’s going to spell bad news for this team going forward.
