This is a big stage for most of the
OSU team, and it's week 1. They've been itching to get out there for months, and so many groups have much to prove. Brand new OL, LBs, DBs, special teamers... returning starters who can finally take up their flag and lead with veterans departed.
I know it's not automatic, but I have a hard time worrying about a brand new Navy offense on the road.
