Peeking Ahead to 2013: Offense Should Be Loaded
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Now that the 2012 season is officially in the books, and there is no bowl game to prepare for, there will be much more talk and analysis of what the 2013 Buckeyes will look like.

Urban Meyer and his coaches will miss out on the 15 bowl practices, but they will be gearing up for a possible national championship run in year two at Ohio State.

We will delve much deeper into that as we get further into the offseason, but we figured now would be a good time for a quick peek ahead at what the Buckeyes have coming back – and coming in – next season.

There could be more attrition during the offseason, but with Jordan Hall coming back for a fifth year, the Buckeyes could be loaded on the offensive side of the ball.
