Depth Chart: Ohio State Makes No Lineup Changes Before Army Despite Loss to Oklahoma

Ohio State has made no changes on its published depth chart despite Saturday's 31-16 loss to Oklahoma.

J.T. Barrett is still the starting quarterback, while Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins are still listed as co-starters at running back and six wide receivers are listed as starters. The only tweak to this week's depth chart is that the "OR" designation next to the starting defensive ends has been changed to "AND/OR," reflecting that all four defensive ends have been on the field for the first play in each of the Buckeyes' first two games, and that Bosa and Holmes – despite being listed on the second row of the depth chart – have actually played more snaps than Lewis and Hubbard.

The fact that the publicly released depth chart has not changed does not necessarily mean that the rotation won't change when the Buckeyes play Army on Saturday, but we'll have to wait and see until then if Ohio State decides to make any significant tweaks to its lineup.

A few notes:

  • Backup quarterback Joe Burrow has not been added back to the depth chart yet, even though he has recovered enough from his broken bone in his hand to throw in pregame warmups on Saturday.
  • Wide receiver Austin Mack is included on the depth chart despite suffering a head injury on Saturday.
  • Defensive tackle Michael Hill, who is suspended indefinitely, remains off the depth chart.
  • The depth chart includes 16 "OR," "AND" or "AND/OR" designations.
