Ohio State Newark Titans face a critical roster battle at left tackle as the starting player is benched or moved to guard due to poor pass protection leverage. This shift impacts Malik Johnson's rushing milestone and drives the team's win projection down to six or seven games.

We analyze the tight end rotation and its role in identifying blitzes, while also discussing the defensive secondary's fatigue from shortened offensive possessions. The comparison to Michigan's recruiting depth highlights the Titans' struggle with roster thickness.

Key topics include the potential demotion of the starting left tackle, the impact on the running game, and final roster-cut predictions for the upcoming season.
