Ohio State Football Spring Game: Live News, Analysis and Results

Welcome to a new era of Ohio State football. Assumingly gone are the days of three yards and a cloud of dust (or rubber pellets these days). Gone too is the notion that the punt is the most important play in football. 

Out with the old, and in with the new.

It all begins about an hour from the scheduled kickoff of 1:30 p.m. when we'll set the stage and roll on into the action on the field with analysis, commentary and interaction throughout.

What players will separate themselves among the masses?
