2017 Fall Camp & Tidbits

This is the time of the year where I will have to consider just stopping following all OSU football news whatsoever, or just do nothing else but look at updates for all of fall camp. We all know I will choose the latter but my excitement come August is not containable, I just wanna hit the fast-forward button to August 31 even though I know I need to savor each moment of the off-season.

I wish the season would kick off today. Unfortunately I won't get to watch any of it(hopeful thinking they have AFN) I'm cherishing this pre-season talk as it is the only taste of football I will get(besides the hall of fame game)

If anyone didn't see it, Schiano mentioned Chase Young, Pete Werner & Isiah Pryor as young guys who were standing out to him so far. He also said this is the most talented defensive line group he's had in his career, including the Bucs line with Gerald McCoy on it and the Canes teams he coached circa 2000

The-Ozone Fall Practice Insider: The Calm Before the Storm

Practice-8.5.17.jpg


Saturday marked the first official scrimmage of fall camp for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and while the media was only permitted to watch three periods of warmups, there was an increased energy from the coaches on the day.

While the team was stretching, both Zach Smith and Kevin Wilson were talking to Malcolm Pridgeon, who is battling with Matt Burrell and others for the starting spot at right guard. Smith could be heard telling Pridgeon “It’s gonna be a good day for Malcolm.” It appeared that both Burrell and Pridgeon were sharing preparation with the first unit.

Smith was also walking up and down his row of receivers telling his players to visualize today’s performance. He was also giving them their stats for a scrimmage that was still about an hour away. “Eight catches, 159 yards, 7-for-7 in opportunities,” he told sophomore receiver Austin Mack.

The Injury Front

Running back Mike Weber is still not practicing. He was jogging up and down the sideline and also working in the sand pit. He continues to be held back by a minor hamstring issue. Tight end Marcus Baugh was also still out as he is dealing with a relatively minor foot issue. Safety Jordan Fuller was also in the sand pit. We will have an update on him later, as we will speak with the safeties following practice.

Sporting limited orange jerseys were linebackers Baron Browning, Malik Harrison, and Keandre Jones. Offensive lineman Gavin Cupp was also in orange. These players still participate in drills, but not contact. Offensive lineman Joshua Alabi was also jogging on the side and watching drills.

Have That Moment
Being that today is when the depth chart really begins to take shape, Urban Meyer spoke with the team prior to sending them to their various unit groups. We couldn’t hear much, but what we could hear revolved around the players taking advantage of what today meant. “Have that moment,” Meyer could be heard telling his players.

I was kind of surprised to see a familiar face doing some of the commentary:

It is really impressive how many former Ohio State players are into sports broadcasting.

I started jumping around my living room, hyped up, when Coach Schiano started talking about the defense and the defensive line Saturday.

I'd really like to see more of a rotation at tailback (tighten up rotation late), but that's nitpicking.

Really fired up.
