Despite having the opportunity to give more players extended playing time on Saturday against UNLV, Ohio State has made no significant changes to its published depth chart for this week's game against Rutgers.
Malik Barrow, who was listed as a fourth-string defensive tackle, is no longer on the depth chart after tearing his ACL. Other than that, Ohio State's depth chart looks exactly the same as it did last week.
A few notes about the depth chart as it currently stands:
- True freshmen Josh Myers and Wyatt Davis are still listed as the Buckeyes' third-team guards even though they have yet to play this season and appear likely to redshirt. Demetrius Knox, who played 30 snaps at left guard against UNLV, remains absent from the depth chart.
- Dwayne Haskins and Joe Burrow are still listed as co-backup quarterbacks, even though Haskins has been the first quarterback off the bench in each of the past two games. True freshman Tate Martell is still listed as the fourth-string quarterback even though he too has yet to play this season and appears likely to redshirt.
- Mike Weber is still listed as a co-starter at running back even though J.K. Dobbins has started each of Ohio State's first four games. Demario McCall is still listed as a co-third-team running back even though he played exclusively as a wide receiver on Saturday against UNLV.
- Tuf Borland is still listed as a co-starter at middle linebacker, though only Chris Worley's name appears in bold type, as Worley is probable to return this week from a sprained foot.
- Pete Werner and Baron Browning are still listed as third-team linebackers, while Jeffrey Okudah is still listed as a backup cornerback, but Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that all three of those true freshmen could be in line for increased playing time going forward.
- Sean Nuernberger is still listed as a co-starter on kickoffs even though Blake Haubeil handled all kickoffs in last week's game.
