So here we are, inching closer to the start of the College Football season, and everyone is getting anxious.  I hope to provide a fix for you fanatics and get you acquainted with the 2008 Buckeyes and what may ensue this upcoming year.

 

 

This walk-through guide offer’s up the offensive preview in parts one and two, while the defense and special teams will be analyzed in parts three and four.  In Part One of the series, I broke down the ‘Backs of the Buckeye offense.

 

In Part Two of my team preview, I will breakdown those players who play at the line of scrimmage: the receivers, tight ends, and offensive lineman.  Only one starter out of a possible eight positions did not return from least year’s squad. 

 

These positions boast such players as Biletnikoff Trophy candidate Brian Robiskie, Outland Trophy aspirant Alex Boone, and the notorious leaders of the Brew Crew: Mike Brewster, Mike Adams, and JB Shugarts.
