2007 Ohio State Offense
I did this last year so i figured it would be a good thing to do this year. Enjoy!!! Quarterback- The departure of Troy Smith left a huge hole in the offense, but one of three formidable backups will take over the quarterback role next season. The first is fifth year junior Todd Boeckman who many think may have the inside track on the starting job because of his knowledge of the system. Second is Rob Schoenhoft, a highly touted redshirt sophomore from Cincinnati who has a cannon for an arm and has surprising mobility. Last, but certainly not least is redshirt freshman Antonio Henton, Henton is the most athletic out of the group and is a proven winner having led his high school team to the Georgia state championship as a senior. Bottom Line- Any of the three could earn the starting position but Boeckman seems like he has the edge and it looks like he?ll carry that edge in to regular season. Depth Chart
Bottom Line- This looks to be a solid group that will be headed by a possible Heisman candidate in Chris Wells Depth Chart
Bottom Line- Dionte Johnson is a great blocker that will aid the Offensive line in opening holes for the backs, Not much of a drop-off for this position from last year. Depth Chart
Bottom Line- Replacing Ginn and Gonzalez will not be easy but Robiskie, Hartline, and Small will have something to say about that. Depth Chart SE
Bottom Line- Look for the tight ends to be a big part of the offense next year because of the possibility of a more conservative play-calling style. Depth Chart
Bottom Line- Regardless of who starts, who can?t go wrong with either, but I think Cordle will edge out Whaley ever so slightly to get the first start. Depth Chart
Bottom Line- Having an All-American candidate never hurts and Ben Person finally can prove he?s as good as he was touted to be. Depth Chart LG
Bottom Line- Running in between the tackles could be Ohio States bread and butter with Boone and Barton manning the tackles positions. Depth Chart LT

Great job RhodeIsland.
With Pitt entering the Draft I think Mo Wells stays and serves as our #2 RB. I would love to see them use Mo in a ShotGinn type of role, along with Saine. |

RB depth is a huge issue. I don't care how good the incoming kids were in HS. They will struggle with pass pro among other adjustments, let alone the physical pounding and longer season. They just can't be counted on.
An injury to Beanie could essentially cripple the offense next year, especially if it happened early. No way the new passing game will be able to handle being that one dimensional AND likely having pass blocking issues. The NC game gave us a very good look at what a spread offense without a legit deep threat looks like and how easy it is to defend it if you have enough decent DB's. Ginns departure will be felt big time if the run game isn't dominant. EVERYTHING offensively in 2007 depends on a healthy, durable, fumble free and ultra productive Beanie Wells. |

Next year, Robiskie and and Hartline will have to find a way to become last years Gonzo and Ginn. It would have been nice if one of the two had stayed for their final year to help out the WR corp, but we have to deal with what we have. Not saying that Robiskie and Hartline aren't talented, but they have to step to the plate and deliver big time. They need to make DBs aware that they can be a legitimate deep threat, or else they will just key in on Beanie. The WRs need to step up next year not only to open up the passing game, but also the running game for Beanie.

Just posted the defensive preview.

I disagree, yes he may have Ginn-like speed but he's not nearly as shifty and doesn't have the cutting ability that Teddy has.
