Last year was arguably the most injury-riddled season in Ohio State football history. And certainly in recent history. Why were there so many injuries? What was the impact? And how do the numbers compare to previous years?
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss last year’s injuries and the factors that may have led to them. There has been plenty of focus on the new turf field installed last summer, so the fellas discuss the type of turf that OSU put in last year and some of the concerns with it. They also look back at past years and find a disturbing trend that last season may not be able to be passed off as simply being “just one of those years.”
