Three Overreactions to the Ohio State Offense After Two Days of Fall Camp

After two days of Ohio State fall camp, it’s time to overreact to what the Buckeyes are showing on offense.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down three early takeaways, beginning with running back Isaiah West. Could West actually rush for 1,000 yards this season and turn Ohio State’s backfield into another true two-back attack alongside Bo Jackson?

They also discuss the early emergence of Devin McCuin, who has been one of the biggest standouts of camp. Is McCuin capable of becoming Ohio State’s clear No. 2 receiver — and could he even develop into an NFL first-round-caliber player? Plus, the Buckeyes’ tight end room looks deeper and more versatile than it did a year ago, despite losing two NFL Draft picks.
