The 2012 Spring Football Game | Shannon Wright




This spring will be the first in long time where a new coach will be showing the best fans in the land how he’s going to run our football team.  Urban Meyer is new on the scene, just having been hired after the 2011 season.  He is giving the team a trial with this game, to see if he can whip them into shape.

This past Saturday, the student body at Ohio State was invited to watch practice at the Stadium.  However, due to the weather (rain, naturally), the practice was moved to Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Olentangy River Road, behind the Schottenstein Center.  Practice was held on the indoor turf and there was quite a turnout to see the offense and defense scrimmage in their last Saturday practice before the game.

The Spring Game will take place on Saturday April 21st at 1:30 pm, after the OSU Men’s Lacrosse teams plays Air Force at 11 am.  The team will take the field as soon as their game is over to start warming up and preparing for the game. 

With many recruits out for the team this year, Meyer certainly has his job cut out for him by making a mostly freshman team into THE team to beat this year.  Although we won’t be going to a Bowl game this year, the Buckeyes should still be on everyone’s list to beat.  The game next Saturday will show just what kind of cards we’ll be bringing to the table in the fall.

Go Bucks!
