Fifteen Buckeyes are unavailable ahead of their final home game of the season, including senior linebacker Palaie Gaoteote IV and freshman wide receiver Emeka Egbuka.
While the loss of Gaoteote hurts No. 4 Ohio State’s depth at the linebacker position, Egbuka’s absence leaves the Buckeyes without its starting kick returner.
Graduate running back Master Teague III is available to play for the second time in the back-half of the season.
Senior cornerback Sevyn Banks is the lone game-time decision.
