COLUMBUS — As powerful at times as the Ohio State offensive line played in its last outing, it is expected to benefit from an added turbocharger on Saturday at noon when the No. 3 Buckeyes host Marshall in their last non-conference game before next week’s start to Big Ten play. Left guard Donovan Jackson, a preseason All-American, will make his 2024 debut after sitting out the first two games as a precaution presumably to let heal a hamstring strain incurred in preseason. That means for the first time this season the No.1 offensive line – left tackle Josh Simmons, Jackson, center Seth McLaughlin, right guard Tegra Tshabola, right tackle Josh Fryar – will be on display.
