Ohio State holds its annual spring intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday. And now, we know the details of each roster in the Scarlet and Gray matchup.
The Buckeyes topped the 100,000-mark in attendance a year ago, announcing a final count of 100,198 on hand, a national record. The final tally won't reach six figures this time around — nearly 20,000 seats are unavailable due to construction in C Deck. Maximum capacity is 84,000.
In any event, Urban Meyer uses the spring game as a vital piece in his evaluation process ahead of the 2017 season opener at Indiana on Aug. 31. As he says every year, he is anxious to see how some of the players he knows the program must depend on in the fall perform in front of a huge set of eyeballs.
“The ability to focus and not tighten up in front of a big crowd,” Meyer said Wednesday on the Big Ten teleconference. “Some guys it doesn't matter, some guys it does. I always like to see that.”
Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. at the Horseshoe. Nike founder Phil Knight is set to serve as coach and honorary captain of the Gray team, while former Ohio State assistant Lou Holtz will do the same for the Scarlet squad.
