Dawand projects to start in place of Thayer Munford at left tackle while Matthew will likely start at left guard with Enokk Vimahi maybe in the mix, shifting starter Harry Miller to center in place of Josh Myers.
Wyatt Davis will obviously occupy right guard, as always.
Where things get really dicey is at right tackle where it looks like Max Wray could get the start in place of Nicholas Petit-Frere with top reserve tackle Paris Johnson Jr. also out.
If you're curious, Wray has played exactly one snap this season and played zero last year.
Dawand saw 90 snaps last year and seven so far this season. Matthew logged 114 a season ago and 10 this year. Vimahi has seven snaps so far in 2020.
Today's second-team offensive line, based on pre-game reps, looks like Josh Fryar (LT), Jack Jamieson (LG), Luke Wypler (C), Gavin Cupp (RG), Enokk Vamahi (RT).
Beyond the table shown above and along with Ryan Day, Ohio State will be without assistant coaches Greg Mattison, Matt Barnes and Corey Dennis.
Buckle up, Buckeye fans.
