One should not expect much adjustments to a team's depth chart when said team wins its season opener by 67 points. That is precisely the case for Ohio State, aside from one defensive tackle spot as a result of an injury.

Redshirt sophomore Tracy Sprinkle is likely out for the season with a patella tendon injury in his right knee. He got hurt during Ohio State's 77-10 rout of Bowling Green last Saturday and underwent surgery Sunday afternoon. As expected, his name is absent from the program's depth chart for its matchup with Tulsa, which it released on Tuesday afternoon.

Ohio State hosts the Golden Hurricane on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Notes:

  • Ohio State still lists nine starting positions with an "OR."
  • Dre'Mont Jones and DaVon Hamilton are listed as co-starters in place of Sprinkle at defensive tackle. Robert Landers moves in as Michael Hill's backup in place of Hamilton.
  • Sam Hubbard and Jalyn Holmes remain co-starters at defensive end opposite of Tyquan Lewis.
  • Craig Fada, a former walk-on, is listed as a backup to MLB Raekwon McMillan, a former five-star recruit.
  • Joe Burger is listed as a co-starter with Dante Booker at WILL linebacker. Urban Meyer said Booker is "questionable" this week with a sprained MCL.
  • Ohio State did not list wide receiver K.J. Hill on its depth chart last week, a mistake chalked up as an administrative error. He is there this week, listed as a backup wide receiver to co-starter Corey Smith and Johnnie Dixon. Hill scored Ohio State's first touchdown of the season on a 47-catch from J.T. Barrett.
