Summary
No position group enters this season with more questions than linebacker.
The standard set in Columbus - see recent examples Ryan Shazier, Darron Lee, Raekwon McMillan - has been elusive for a few years. Ryan Day brought in a new coach - Al Washington by way of Ann Arbor - to get the unit back to where it needs to be.
Can he do it?
Was it a talent issue?
Can the linebackers play well enough for Ohio State to compete at a 'playoff' level?
Duane Long is here to continue his unit-by-unit Buckeye previews and takes on linebackers.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
