Depth Chart Breakdown: Penn State Week

Posey ready to contribute again

The depth chart for the Ohio State Buckeyes was released earlier this week, with some shake ups as well as returnees to the football team. When Penn State comes into town on Saturday, some faces of old will rejoin the team, including DeVier Posey. Injuries that took place are healing up, which means some more shifting around. Let's take a look at the key moves in this week's depth chart.

Interesting Notes
- DeVier Posey makes his return to the gridiron for the first time since the 2010-2011 Sugar Bowl. The thing really perking my interest here is that he's listed next to Philly Brown as "Philly Brown OR DeVier Posey". If I'm correct in thinking, this means Posey and Philly will be the starters at split end.

- Johnathan Hankins, who left the Purdue game with an injury, is listed at DT again, so he must be OK to play.

- Ryan Shazier is in at weak-side linebacker, which means Andrew Sweat is still feeling the effects of the concussion, and will not be able to play. I'm kind of glad Shazier finally gets his shot to prove he's a playmaker as a starting linebacker, though.

- T.Y. Williams is not listed on the depth chart this week. Not sure if he was pushed down due to Posey, but even if he was, he should still be able to get some playing time. Very odd after his performance against Purdue, which wasn't outstanding, but showed improvement.
