0:09.0	I'm Chris. We're here.
0:10.0	Talk a little college football.
0:12.0	This is like the lull, right?
0:14.0	With the extended playoffs, we had a late national championship the last two years.
0:18.0	So then you just get like a short lull before spring practice begins, right?
0:23.3	Tuesday, March 10th, first spring practice.
0:25.4	So we literally like two weeks away, two weeks away from spring practice.
0:29.7	It's time to dive into this roster, some position battles, some things that will be occurring.
0:35.3	Because just like that, we're in the offseason prepping for the beginning of another college football season. Nice to have you here in studio. Yeah, dude, it's going to be back. I need to get out of the house. So I'm here today. Is this the biggest mystery box roster we've had in the Ryenda era? Because I mean, this is obviously the most transfers we've taken in one year. And the most transfers we had to exit in one year. And a lot of times when we watch a lot, we're accustomed to in Ohio State football, not first time players on the team being the guys to play a lot, right? Like we're not used to like freshmen playing. We're not used to like transfers coming in and taking up a bulk of things. Now, of course, you have your spots. It's like, you know, Caleb Downs, St. And Jackson, guys throughout the years, and that are coming in and taking up a bulk of things now of course you have your spots like you know Caleb Downs started Jackson like guys about the years and then become like coming in and playing but this is like a year where this feels like the most mystery boxes but I don't know if it's going to be the most camp battles I guess too which is an odd yeah I mean there's always a surprising one right a guy you're kind of have penciled in and you're like, I think Malik Hartford was that, right?
1:29.5	Oh, yeah. Dude, he played the most as a freshman of all the safeties. And then going to the year, we had him penciled in. Malik Harford was going to start opposite Caleb Downs. And as spring ball went on through the summer, Jalen McLean kind of took that spot. Yeah. And not that Jalen didn't play, but he played some, but it was clear.
1:45.5	Malik Arford played a ton as a freshman and. McLean kind of took that spot. Yeah. And not that Jelan didn't play, but he played some, but, but it was clear.
1:45.6	Malik Arford played a ton as a freshman and a sophomore. You look at it on offense. You have one receiver position that is wide open, right? I know everyone will say, oh, Chris Henry Jr. is going to fill that. Okay. We got to see. We had to see. And also they brought in two transfers, kind of slot guys.
2:01.0	There's a chance that Brandon Innes' job is not safe, which is a big conversation we want to see and also they brought in two transfers kind of slot guys there's a chance that
2:01.7	brandon in his job is not safe which is a big conversation we want to have you you have that at
2:06.4	least one line spot right with yeah with uh and more oh no tegra going Ethan and Yanwa going
2:14.5	to the senior like yeah you you have you have open. Yeah, you have a spot open.
2:17.5	Everyone else pretty much played. Ethan Yama wasn't even, didn't really even play, but he's gone. No, bro, Ethan and Yonwo, no one talks about it, was unplayable. Yeah, like we went through right guard after right guard. The tackles played like shit. and the one guy no matter well,
