Ohio State held its Student Appreciation Day practice on Saturday and we were able to learn a lot of interesting information. Two young players that are rising up the depth chart are true freshman linebacker C.J. Hicks and sophomore cornerback Jordan Hancock. What else stood out at the practice, most especially during the scrimmage portion? And can the Buckeyes' offense be even better this season? They were ranked No. 1 in the country last year in total offense and scoring offense. But they did struggle in one particular area. Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the Monday 5ish to discuss all of that and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
