It’s funny how one last session under the spring sun can paint an entirely different picture of a team’s prospects — and for Ohio State, that picture isn’t exactly all sunshine and roses. While Ryan Day no doubt eyes a roster shimmering with raw talent, Friday’s final spring practice whispered some unsettling truths. The defense strutted off the field, chest puffed out, brimming with confidence. Meanwhile, the offense… well, they left behind a laundry list of questions that refused to fade into the background.
