My eyes ended up drifting while I was interviewing Erick Smith, and I noticed J.T. Barrett staying long after practice to throw some balls. Obviously wasn't moving all that much, but as a passer he looks better than ever for what it's worth.
Tyvis Powell remains one of the funniest people I have ever talked to, and chatting with him and Vonn at the same time was great. The two said they have built up a huge rapport on the field and they have an understand of where the other is going to be and that gives them confidence during plays.
But as good as those two are, that doesn't mean they are invincible, so if an injury does come up that is where Erick Smith steps in. Chris Ash and Powell both expressed confidence that Smith can come in without the team missing a beat. Smith said he has grown a lot since last season, and he thinks his greatest strength is putting pad on pad and hitting people.
Tony Alford and Ezekiel Elliott also chatted with the media, with Alford saying he doesn't want to just fill Stan Drayton's shoes, he wants to be himself in the role and leave his own impact. When asked what it was like to come to Ohio State knowing Elliott was there, Alford's answer was part-joke and part-praise, "I don't know. is it easy to drive a Lexus?"
