Summary

Ohio State is in the middle of the largest defensive line reload Larry Johnson has probably ever experienced. Not only is Johnson trying to replace the production left behind by four starters now on NFL teams, but he's also looking for new leaders. Johnson is trying to both quickly assemble an inexperienced group for a massive season opener while also setting up OSU's future at the position. On this episode of Buckeye Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis break down how that's going by looking at the names most in need of a breakout season.
