Ohio State Football is officially back! Even though today was the start of the friendly fire for the next month plus, it’s still great to see the Scarlets and Grays running around the Woody Hayes Athletic Facility.
There are plenty of jobs up for grabs, which isn’t like most spring hires in Columbus, but there are some big openings for head coach Ryan Day.

We’ll find out a lot more as the LiFEsports Spring Game wraps up the action, but there are plenty of opportunities like today to catch a glimpse of our beloved horse chestnuts.

The transfer brings plenty of talent with it and Igbinosun is expected to feature on the field early and often in his Buckeye career.

This group struggled mightily in the last two games of the season but made a big improvement in defensive coordinator Jim Knowles’ first season. Many expect the second year to be even better.

Thurman is massive and could very well be the future of the position for the Buckeyes.

This group of positions needs to be more disruptive to take some pressure off the back end of defense.
