## Resource

If You Could Guarantee Elite Play From One Position Group... If Ohio State could guarantee elite play from one position group all season long, which group would matter most? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr debate the best answer for the Buckeyes: offensive line, defensive line, running back, quarterback, wide receiver, or somewhere else. They discuss how elite play up front changes everything, why Ohio State’s defensive line could be the safest answer, how better running back play could have changed last season, and whether Julian Sayin and the receivers are already close enough to elite. 00:00 — Intro 00:31 — The question: which Ohio State position group would you guarantee elite play from? 01:41 — Why offensive line feels like the obvious answer 04:26 — Tony pushes back and makes the case for defensive line 06:48 — Could wide receiver be the answer? 09:01 — The case for elite running back play 10:57 — How much would elite RB play change Ohio State’s offense? 12:59 — What would elite quarterback play from Julian Sayin mean? 15:05 — Why the trenches remain the safest answer 16:45 — Tony and Tom make their final picks 16:53 — Would you still choose offensive line? Would you guarantee elite offensive line play, defensive line play, quarterback play, running back play, or wide receiver play for Ohio State? Drop your answer in the comments.
