The Ohio State football team has an offensive line that isn't solid. Some parts of it are concerning Ryan Day.

The Ohio State football team will have an improved offense this season thanks to some new additions from the transfer portal. Adding Will Howard and Quinshon Judkins to the offense will make the team more explosive on that side of the field. Their ceiling will be higher as an offense.

Despite all of the explosive pieces that they have on that side of the ball, the offensive line is the most important unit on the team. They were the worst unit on the team by far. The tackles were especially bad in the regular season finale against Michigan. They couldn't protect Kyle McCord from getting the pocket pushed.

It's something that is concerning Ryan Day still. When he spoke to the media most recently, he expressed concern over the right side of the offensive line. That side still has some starters that are up in the air. It seems that Josh Fryar will either start at right guard or right tackle.

There are three other offensive linemen who are still trying to vie for a starting spot. Carson Hinzman, Seth McLaughlin, and Luke Montgomery are still trying to fight for three spots. More than likely, it will be Montgomery who is the odd man out but there is still time to change that.

Either way, the offensive line is still what Day is concerned about. He knows that without a solid line, the team can't win at the highest level. That right side needs to get settled as quickly as possible to ensure that the team can actually win the Big Ten this year.

In the end, it should be McLaughlin at center, Hinzman at guard, and Fryar at tackle. Personally, I believe Montgomery should start over Fryar, but that's probably not going to happen. He might have to wait another year to get his chance.
