Whenever college football finally gets going in the fall, people rejoice.
Ohio State fans — and Virginia Tech fans, at that — had to wait a little longer than most, however, before their teams got going in the 2015 football season. The Hokies wrapped up their 2014 slate two weeks before the Buckeyes, as a result of Ohio State playing for and eventually winning the national championship.
Naturally, with such a horde of talent returning from a team that ripped through the first ever College Football Playoff — along with a quarterback battle between two players who contributed largely to their team's success last year — Buckeye fans have had plenty to dissect, discuss and debate since Urban Meyer raised the national title trophy in Dallas Jan. 12.
Everyone has their own opinion, just like us fine folks here at Eleven Warriors. Because of that, below are subheads and links to everything we've written and prognosticated on this offseason to get you ready for the opener in Blacksburg, Va.
By the time this story posts, we'll be roughly at the eight-hour mark before kickoff.
