Despite a heavy-handed win over Army in Week 3, the Ohio State Buckeyes dropped two spots—to No.10—in the AP Poll. That doesn’t mean that Urban Meyer and staff are throwing caution to the win, however. They’ve stayed true to the depth chart that has, by and large, stayed the same since the first release this season.
A few names moved around, with Josh Myers being added as the No. 3 left guard, and Joe Burrow made his way back on the depth chart—although, is still recovering—and Tuf Borland is now an “or” for the starting MLB position.
With injuries plaguing the running back corps, it’s not surprising to see so many “or” designations for first and second team players. Mike Weber is healthy enough to see snaps, but not enough to be a three-down back, and Demario McCall is still dealing with a lingering issue from last season. Until they’re all healthy, freshman phenom J.K. Dobbins will likely get the majority of carries Saturday.
