Buckeyes Preparing For Familiar Setting

Much has been made about what the Ohio State Buckeyes will be up against when they begin the 2016 season. With so much turnover in the roster, and plenty of new faces competing for critical roles, questions are abound for a team that still is expected to make a playoff run. How those questions are ultimately answered, or not answered, remains to be seen.

This isn’t unknown territory, though, as Buckeye fans need only go back to a couple years ago for a similar set of circumstances. The 2014 Ohio State team came into the season with plenty of questions of their own, and that list was only added to as fall camp came and went, and the non-conference schedule got underway.

Ultimately the Buckeyes turned all of those questions into a national championship. You may have heard. How do the two offseasons compare? Here is a look at the similarities between the 2014 and 2016 editions of the Ohio State football program.
