The Ohio State football team had to make another offensive line change against Tennessee. There was a rotation at guard, with Luke Montgomery rotating in at left guard. That meant there were times that Austin Siereveld rotated to right guard some to spell Tegra Tshabola.
Even though that was a lot of movement up front for a College Football Playoff game, it worked. The Ohio State Buckeyes dumped the Volunteers 42-17. It was a game that saw the Buckeyes dominate Tennessee on both sides of the ball physically. That was very surprising from the offensive line specifically,
Even though Ohio State played great, there is still a combination that needs to be figured out. A rotation will not fly against a team as good as Oregon. There needs to be a set lineup at the start of the game that they stick with throughout this game. Which is the best combination?
Figuring out the best offensive line combination for the Ohio State football team
The only question that needs to be answered is the guard spot. Donovan Jackson is locked in at left tackle, Carson Hinzman is at center, and Josh Fryar will be the right tackle. The left and right guard are still up in the air, but there is one correct combination to keep things going well.
Montgomery played really well when he was out there at the left guard spot. I think he makes the most sense there. Siereveled also played well at both guard spots, so he should be at right guard. That means Tshabola is the odd man out for this game. He just didn't play as well as the other two guards,
This seems to be the safest thing to do against the top-ranked team in the country, which already has a win over Ohio State. It's going to be a great game regardless.
