Ohio State releases depth chart for game one vs. Florida Atlantic

We finally have it. After all the speculation and educated guessing (in most cases), Ohio State has released its depth chart for Saturday’s game against Lane Kiffin’s Florida Atlantic squad.

The team is implementing a new policy of releasing injury and depth chart information on each Friday just before games rather than earlier in the week, and there’s sure to be a little gamesmanship there.

There aren’t that many surprises — and in fact — the depth chart looks amazingly similar to the projected one we took a stab at a couple of weeks ago here on Buckeyes Wire. But, before we get into that, there will be a few players unavailable and some as a game-time decision per the release from the university.
