2009 Ohio State Football Starters

It is officially Navy week, and the intensity is heating up as we get closer and closer to the beginning of the college football season (which officially kicks off Thursday night) and the first Buckeye game of the season.

The format throughout the season will be fairly consistent on this site. Monday through Wednesday will focus on general commentary and story lines about OSU's upcoming opponent, including my weekly Top 10, while Thursday will feature my games of the week and predictions around the country and the Big Ten conference. Finally, Friday will be a final breakdown of the upcoming game and how I think the Buckeyes will fare.

Today is just an update on what will be the official starting lineup for Ohio State when they take the field against Navy (Noon, ESPN) on Saturday (* denotes returning starter).

No real surprises here... although it is great to see that Austin Spitler and Justin Boren have responded well from their injuries. Boren is a key to the season; no doubt about it.
