Analyzing Ohio State spring game, picking breakout Buckeyes
COLUMBUS — Just like that, spring camp is over at Ohio State.
Time has flown by for the Buckeyes in March and April, and all of that work built up to a competitive, informative scrimmage on Saturday at the Horseshoe.
All the Lettermen Live panelists can hope for now after seeing the Buckeyes one last time this spring is that the summer months move just as quickly and training camp arrives in a hurry. There will be plenty more discussion about what happened over 15 workouts this spring to help fill the offseason void, and that all started at Roosters on Monday with a focus just on the exhibition at Ohio Stadium.
“One of the things we talk about is competitive stamina, bringing it every single week,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said after the scrimmage. “Because the thing that’s unique about Ohio State is you’re not allowed to lose a game here.
” … We’re gonna have to be physical. If we’re tough, and we have good leadership next year, then we have a chance to reach our goals.”

Ohio State appears to have a great chance of reaching those benchmarks again this season And former Buckeyes Bobby Carpenter and Justin Zwick were joined by Lettermen Row staffers Austin Ward and Spencer Holbrook alongside Nicole Cox from Roosters for a fun, casual conversation to break that all down while covering a number of topics about the program as spring came to a close.
Among the discussion points about Ohio State:
- What Saturday revealed about the culture the Buckeyes have been building — and the recruiting impact moving forward.
- Buckeyes who emerged and have a chance to really help the roster by September.
- Assessing the importance of live tackling in the spring game and the message of Tough Love for Ohio State.
- How the coaching staff is taking ownership of getting the Buckeyes back to a championship level.
- The Appetizer Tuesday option this week at Roosters: Mini corn dogs.
