Stop No. 2 on the BTN fall tour took us to Columbus, Ohio, to check out Big Ten preseason favorite Ohio State, which has national title aspirations following last year's 12-0 first season under Urban Meyer. Our guys watched practice Wednesday morning, and we're posted their best tweets in this post.

#Buckeye d line looks good. If coaches can get 341-pound Chris Carter to play hard all the time, look out.

@OsuCoachCoombs coaches like his hair is on fire! He is setting the BTN tour standard for white hot intensity.

Having seen true freshman RB Dontre Wilson rip off some big plays, you can see why coaches are excited.#Buckeyes

NFL scouts are crawling the sidelines at #Buckeyes practice. Smart men. Lots of meat on the hoof.

BTN 2013 Camp Tour #Buckeyes Secondary is very impressive. Hard to believe there's a lot more talented back end

BTN 2013 Camp Tour – #Buckeyes Defensive line very young very talented and will develop defending the pass before defending the run – easier

BTN 2013 Camp Tour #Buckeyes WR group may be most improved unit on team. O line continues to develop quality depth. Impressive group.

BTN 2013 Camp Tour B Miller impressive body language 2nd yr in offense. Still admire K Guiton team guy best QB in country not starting

Even the stretch is impressive at Ohio State – very physically imposing group

Great pre-practice speech from Urban. Emphasized importance of day and earning spot on 1st depth chart to be posted this weekend
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 7, 2013
Based on pure eyeball test, the #Buckeyes LB crew has fewer obvious answers than DL. Biggest depth concern on team
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 7, 2013
Just talking w @HowardGriffith – amazing thing about OSU is it's harder to pick out freshmen. They arrive physically ready to play in B1G
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 7, 2013
It's hard to envision a scenario where Dontre Wilson doesn't play a significant role for #Buckeyes – tons of talent at a position of need
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 7, 2013
Will be interesting to see how much #Buckeyes incorporate TE's – Vannett and Heuerman could both cause match-up issues

Adolphus Washington coming up with an impressive sack in red zone drill. DL continues to impress
