Buckeyes' Fresh Faces Shine in Home Opener

About this episode

Ohio State’s football season kicks off in four days with a brand-new look: 11 new starters, 51 fresh faces, and a new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith. Facing bottom-tier Ball State in their home opener, the Buckeyes are using this game as a tune-up to test their new talent under pressure. Watch Jay Timmons at nickelback — he’s primed to start and could shine against Ball State’s struggling passing game. Ian Moore, the lone new offensive lineman starter, must prove himself against a tough defense; his camp performance gives him an edge, but depth means he can’t afford lapses. Also keep an eye on Chris Henry Jr., who’s generating buzz as a key receiver, and Devin Sanchez, poised for a breakout at cornerback — this game could be his turning point.
