The LATEST on the Ohio State Offensive Line

Ohio State's offensive line competition is still taking shape, but Ryan Day sounds increasingly comfortable with what the Buckeyes have up front.

In this episode of The Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down the latest developments along the offensive line following Ohio State's recent practices and scrimmage. 

With Austin Siereveld temporarily sidelined, Ian Moore and Josh Padilla have received valuable opportunities to state their cases for starting roles, while the Buckeyes continue to evaluate different combinations.

The guys discuss why Siereveld's absence may actually help Ohio State evaluate the competition, how much depth the Buckeyes appear to have, why versatility could be one of the line's biggest strengths, and what Ryan Day's confidence says about the group as the season approaches.
