Illinois-Ohio State: Jordan Hall finally off Buckeyes depth chart

As per usual, take Urban Meyer & co.'s depth charts with the appropriate grain of salt, but as far as this week goes, the team has finally made peace with the fact that Jordan Hall won't be walking onto the Ohio Stadium turf in anything other than a track suit. After being a co-starter tailback for 3-4 weeks, Hall is finally absent from the depth chart all together. Carlos Hyde, who had arguably his best game of the season (though not statistically) against Penn State, is the lone starter. Effective redshirt sophomore Rod Smith is listed as the top tailback.

The only other notable changes are a few backup swaps. Sophomore Michael Bennett, who at times was extremely disruptive against the Nittany Lions, is now the top backup at right defensive end position. J.T. Moore is relegated to third on the depth chart. Connor Crowell also passed true freshman Camren Williams behind Ryan Shazier at linebacker.
