Ohio State is losing a first-round pick and likely two second-round picks off its offensive line in left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., plus right tackle Dawand Jones and center Luke Wypler. It is rare to lose that much high-end talent off an offensive line in one offseason, but that's the reality for the Buckeyes. Starting guards Donovan Jackson and Matthew Jones return, which is the good news. Who will fill in at the three vacant starting spots? Who will be the primary backups? Is the depth good? Can O-line coach Justin Frye get the most out of this group?Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 offensive line and what you can expect from the unit.All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

It is time for a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 running backs and defensive linemen as Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show. If they can stay reasonably healthy -- which would be in stark contrast to last season -- how good can this collection of RBs be? The Buckeyes return all five scholarship running backs, including Chip Trayanum who is now strictly an RB.As for the defensive linemen, can they prove to be one of the top units in the country? There is little doubt they will be good, but will Larry Johnson's group be great? How deep will the rotation go this year and who will be the main contributors? Might LJ pare it down a bit?Also, we hope your brackets are faring well. Which means, we hope you did not have Arizona and Virginia going too far.All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. [Note: Jonah Booker is on vacation and will return on next Friday's show.]
