If No. 4 Ohio State is to beat Tulsa, it will have to do so without outside linebacker Dante Booker, who will miss Saturday's matchup due to an MCL sprain.

Booker, a 2014 four-star signee, made his long-awaited debut against Bowling Green last week. He finished with two total tackles before the knee injury sidelined him.
As for who replace him, senior captain and former walk-on Joe Burger was announced as the starter over the Horseshoe public address system. However, sophomore Jerome Baker took reps with the first team during warm-ups.
Expect a by-committee approach in replacing Booker.
