There’s plenty to watch for with this 2021 Ohio State football team. These are the four biggest ones I’ll be watching for as the season plays out.

The Ohio State football season starts up next week! It’s been a long wait for these players after falling to Alabama in the National Championship Game back in January. Their wait is finally almost over. Now, they get to start a brand new season with the same aspirations.

Ryan Day’s squad knows that nothing short of a national title will be deemed a success. They have to get back to where they were a year ago and actually get over the hump this time. With the number of preseason awards they have, that should be the expectation.

Even with all of the talent this team possesses, there is still some change that has happened with the team. These are the biggest things that Ohio State football fans watch for as the season unfolds throughout the year. These are the things I’ll be watching for as well.

There is plenty to check out with this team as the 2021 season goes along, but there are four main things that I will be watching very closely this year. How these things turn out will ultimately shape how much success this Buckeye team has this year.

The first thing I’m watching for comes up front with a new, bigger offensive line.
