Here's one:
https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-...
They have a complete shuffle of the Offensive line, and Keszei as the starting QB.
The line changes they show:
Amburgey moving to LT to be the backup
Kittrell moving back to Center, allowing Danneker to move up to starting LG
Ramer moving from RG to back up LG
Sink moving from starting C to starting RT
Seniors Hoover and Fernandez not on the two-deep
Ross not on the two-deep anywhere

All of these are possible. Are they right? I have no clue, though I think it's still a guess who wins the starting QB job. It may well be Harris. One thing I know for a fact is that the Bobcats are very, very thin at QB, and they probably need to back off the QB runs a bit to keep them healthy.

The defense may or may not be right, but there are a lot less shift there than on offense. They have Floyd replacing Hagan.

This website is probably incorrect about the QB. Amburgey may end up starting on the OL. The Bobcats have more depth on the OL than some expect. They are deep at RB/TE and have good WR's. The special teams have new players. I think the defense will be better than last season. Only time will tell if Ohio can improve on seven wins from last season.

Random thoughts...I really like the depth at the LB position especially with the younger guys like Thompson & McCrory who came on strong at the end of last season. Feeling good about the CB position but curious to see who steps up at the Safety position besides Hampton with guys like Floyd, Collier, Mitchell, Elad, etc.

I'm not surprised to not see Ross listed there. Allison and Tuggle were clearly better last season.

I would put Tupa ahead of Minter on the receiver depth chart, and maybe Stai over Watkins on DE.

Defensive tackle is interesting. Caesar has shown the most in our uniform but every other spot on the two deep is up for grabs. Lots of big bodies to choose from. McCracken showed well in the bowl game and you have Daxon looming as well.

When was the last time we had one kicker/punter? I hope Vandenberg is that talented because losing Louie and Farkas scares me the most of any duo outside of Pleasants and Rourke.

Jack Wilson was recruited to punt, and Jonah Fortcamp from Bishop Watterson will be walking on and competing for the punting and kicking job, so neither job is sewn up yet.

I thought we would see Tariq Drake as a corner in this two deep

DT does look awesome and I’m wondering if we could move someone like Coleman to DE since we are thin there.

Other random thoughts:

* I think Tupa is done because of injury.

* Evans and Meservy with no preseason MAC accolades surprises me. I look for big years for both of them.

* The staff must be high on both Rourke and Harris. I was expecting a transfer at QB. Harris May be the man.

• I can’t see our PK to be OUr punter. I think Jack Wilson will be OUr punter.

* So it looks like season ticket people which counts me in because of Rona. No concessions doesn’t bother me. Beer would be nice.

* OUr running backs and WRs should be the best in the MAC...hopefully we have someone who can get them the ball.

* Looking for more recruit verbals but so far so good....the WR and OL/DL guy look like steals.

*.Why didn’t my Senior OU granddaughter tell me that her apartment complex had Thirsty Thursday’s with free beer by the pool...maybe there is a reason .

Your last bullet point caught my attention, leaving me wondering if your granddaughter's apartment complex is the same as my daughter's.

Probably....across the tracks from Jeff Hall.

L.C.--On running the QBs, I get your point, but I think we have to run our QB for this offense to work.

Looks like Harris then.

Don't panic as Kurtis will get the job done. He is taller than Nathan and has a better arm.

Bringing me back to where I started. If he is the guy, he has a better arm, but isn't as good a runner, and has a bad off-shoulder. It makes sense to use his arm more, and his feet less, compared to Nathan.

A ton of good thoughts on this. Here is my two cents, unrelated to prior opinions.

On QBs, Nathan Rourke was a special player because he made the opponent defend the entire field. N Rourke is an all-time program great and it is unlikely that he can be replaced-Albin will still do what Ohio does with some modifications.

That said, Kurtis Rourke and CJ Harris are intriguing. Either one will inherit one of the deepest, talented offenses in recent memory. That is a big boost.
I imagine both QBs will get a chance. From what I've seen on the high school video, Kurtis reminds me more of the Tettleton-style and Harris more of the Nathan Rourke-style. Not saying either will be as good, but Ohio has shown it can go with an offense that is more passing or dual-threat.

I'd say if Solich had his choice, he'd go with the dual-threat, if it is otherwise even. Looking at CJ Harris in HS, he looks like a raw version of Nathan Rourke in the running game. If you look at HUDL, a ton of what Harris did on the ground, especially as a senior, looks like what Ohio would run: read option, speed option, QB draw, etc.

https://www.hudl.com/profile/8217110/CJ-Harris

Additionally, Harris threw a heck of a deep ball in HS. Reminded me of a HS version of Randall Cunningham- so smooth and the ball just goes for days....Most important position battle of the season.

Re the linebackers, Bingo. The mix of youth and experience is fantastic. Thompson will be an all-mac performer. McCrory killed it in the bowl game.

Exactly. Farkas and Zervos are on the list of all-time greats and perhaps the best pairing to play at Ohio at the same time ever.

Buffalo found out the price paid in the kicking game last season when it lost in overtime 21-20 to ohio on a missed extra point and two? very make-able field goals.
