Ohio State in context: The Bucks will only get better on offense

0 comments by on 9/11/2015

The biggest question about Ohio State throughout the entire offseason was who was going to be under center. However, after the opener, a bigger question is how are the Buckeyes going to be spreading the touches around with the explosive weapons that they have on the entire offensive side of the ball.
