The reigning kings of college football have it all going on, as Urban Meyer features a loaded roster this season. This marked the 12th stop on our annual football tour across Big Ten country.
After the Buckeyes' practice, our bus hit the road, en route to Bloomington, Indiana.
Get host Dave Revsine, BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo and BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart?s tweets from Ohio State's practice below.
Hard to know where to begin when praising the Buckeyes. They are as physically impressive a group as we've seen in our 9 yrs of camp tours

OL won't miss a beat with Chase Farris. Watched him for 5 straight snaps on inside drill - more than held his own.

Rolling out of Columbus on our way to Bloomington. Great practice from Buckeyes - focused and sharp - not one bit of complacency in sight

I can see why OSU coaches have been raving about Noah Brown - he is going to be a really tough match-up for an average sized CB. Big & fast

I suppose Gareon Conley is what qualifies as a question mark in the secondary - but he had a great night - including a beautiful leaping INT

If you want to nit-pick - might have minor concerns at DT and back-up RB. But, truthfully, season will come down to mental prep & focus.
