This week's 11W roundtable welcomes staffers Chase Brown, Garrick Hodge and Andy Vance as the Buckeyes get set to square off with Toledo tomorrow night in Ohio Stadium.
Chip Trayanum could be the first Buckeye to return a kickoff for a touchdown since 2010, Archie Griffin has fond memories of Ohio Stadium and C.J. Stroud is powered by lemons.
Arizona tight end Bear Tenney said Kevin Wilson and Justin Frye made him feel wanted at Ohio State and Jaden Ball enjoyed his OSU visit for the Arkansas State game.
Kyle Rowland, who covers Toledo for the Toledo Blade, believes the Rockets will win 8-10 games this season but doesn’t think they can keep up with Ohio State on Saturday.
Ryan Day believes Chip Trayanum’s speed and strength give him high upside as a returner and Emeka Egbuka thinks Trayanum will end Ohio State’s return touchdown drought.
Caden Curry’s four-tackle debut against Arkansas State impressed Ryan Day and Jim Knowles and could lead to more playing time going forward for the freshman defensive end.
The Buckeyes rank among the top 25 total, scoring and rushing defenses in the country through two weeks, and Jim Knowles' tight LB rotation has been vital in the process.
TC Caffey was a baller in high school, Ohio State has some noteworthy 2023 NFL draft prospects and Palaie Gaoteote is making a name for himself on special teams.
Through two games, Ohio State sits at No. 98 in the country with eight penalties per game which continues a trend of increased flags under head coach Ryan Day.
