COLUMBUS — I squeezed it in as the last question for Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia on Thursday.

Do you think you could play more guys this year?

“Yeah, it’s probably a good way to look at it,” Patricia said. “I think we have a lot of really good depth players this year. I really do. I want to make sure they’re in the right spots. I want to do the best I can to make sure that I’m putting them in the position to make plays.”
