Ohio State addresses loss of five tackles by assigning Austin Siereveld to left tackle and having Phillip Daniels compete at right tackle to build depth and versatility.

- Day expects players to focus snaps at their positions as the opener nears, with the lineup still unsettled but depth building optimism for the offensive line’s performance.
