OSU Bullets

• Bowl projection updates – CBS has the Pokes playing the Irish and Action Network has them in Memphis against an SEC opponent (CBS Sports + Action Network)

• Pokes are receiving votes in the Coaches Poll (PFB)

• The offensive line struggles are front and center starting the season – but there should be no concern about them being undersized.

The current OSU roster is stocked with athletic giants. The Saturday starters at the offensive tackle positions were 6-foot-5, 323-pound Jake Springfield on the right side and 6-5, 325-pound Cole Birmingham on the left side. Center Joe Michalski and guards Taylor Miterko and Jason Brooks Jr. all tip the scales at about 300 pounds.

After Springfield sustained an ankle injury that isn’t believed to be serious, he was replaced by 311-pound Cooper Dalton.
