Ohio State vs Rutgers Depth Chart




Ohio State vs Rutgers Depth Chart

By Eric Seger
Ohio State's depth chart for its matchup against Rutgers.
Injuries are the only cause for change in the Ohio State football program's latest two-deep,released Tuesday afternoon.
Urban Meyer said on Monday that wide receiver K.J. Hill is set to miss 3-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain while linebacker Justin Hilliard had surgery for a torn left biceps over the weekend. As a result, those two names are absent from the depth chart, the first the Buckeyes put out in two weeks after having an uncharacteristically early off day last Saturday.
No. 2 Ohio State returns to Columbus to host Chris Ash and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) on Saturday for its Big Ten opener. Kickoff is set for noon.
Notes:
  •  Joe Burger replaces Hilliard at backup WILL linebacker on this week's depth chart. One change is Jerome Baker is now listed as a co-starter with Dante Booker at the position. Booker missed Ohio State's wins against Tulsa and Oklahoma with a sprained MCL but Meyer said he is "probable" for Saturday's game.
  •  Baker remains Chris Worley's backup at SAM linebacker.
  •  Ohio State listed Hill as a backup wide receiver to co-starters Corey Smith and Johnnie Dixon the last two weeks. The Buckeyes just removed Hill's name from its two-deep due to his injury but did not replace him in their latest two-deep.
  •  Sam Hubbard and Jalyn Holmes remain co-starters at defensive end opposite of Tyquan Lewis.
  •  Marshon Lattimore remains a co-starter at one cornerback spot with Denzel Ward despite being tied for the team lead with three interceptions.
  • Ohio State still lists nine starting positions with an "OR."
