FAU has one of the nation's best tight ends and several former Power 5 players, but the Owls had a weak defense last season and haven't beat a Power 5 team since 2007.
FAU gave up over 425 yards a game and nearly six yards a play last season. That defense makes its way to Columbus as an easy early test for Ohio State's new starting quarterback.
Urban Meyer said recruiting a transfer QB "didn't feel right," the last time a top-5 team had a new coach and QB, Lane Kiffin talks Justin Fields, and more.
The Cincinnati Bengals have announced rookie Michael Jordan will start at left guard. Billy Price will serve in a backup role along the offensive line.
Whether Justin Fields will perform at a high level early in the season and how much the linebackers have improved are among Ohio State's remaining unknowns.
Ohio State returns its starting kicker, punter and long snapper but could look for more big plays in the return game and will continue to place a major emphasis on special teams.
