Ohio St whole offense platoon

It occurred to me this morning that The Buckeyes probably have the talent at the skill positions to do a platoon system akin to what Kentucky basketball did last year in subbing in an entire unit of fresh players.

I think this could actually work and maybe even having unit specific play packages make defenses preparing for OSU's task doubly difficult without losing much, if any offensive productiveness on the field.

Imagine being a defender having been pushed down the field for 80 yards seeing your own offense go 3 & out going back out on the field and seeing a completely different set of WR's, QB, RB that are fresh & want yardage and will be running different sets and plays.  I think it would take both a mental and physical toll.
