Practice Report: Buckeyes continue gaining confidence in trenches as Arkansas State tuneup nears

COLUMBUS — Ohio State has turned the page already after its impressive win over a ranked opponent.
But now the Buckeyes are gearing up for a two-week tuneup slate that features Group of Five teams.
In the next two weeks, Ohio State will face Arkansas State and Toledo, two teams that should give the Buckeyes a chance to work out some of the kinks that popped up on both sides of the ball in the win over Notre Dame.
Lettermen Row was inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center after select Buckeyes spoke to the media Wednesday night — and they have plenty of takeaways after hearing from cornerback Cam Brown, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, defensive end Zach Harrison, safety Ronnie Hickman, offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, offensive lineman Matt Jones and defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau.
Spencer Holbrook and Tim May are breaking down how the Buckeyes are turning their focus to Arkansas State in the latest Practice Report. Every Wednesday night following the media session with the players, Tim and Spencer will chat about what they heard from the confident batch of Buckeyes.
