Ohio State Buckeyes P.M. Links: Ryan Shazier will take the field; for better or worse; no ordinary time; Saturday's game plan

Freshman linebacker should start on Saturday against Penn State.

Linebacker Ryan Shazier is expected to start for the first time on Saturday for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Shazier is in for starter Andrew Sweat, who is out with a concusion.

Reporter Tim May of The Columbus Dispatch writes how Shazier, a freshman, should hold his on Saturday.

There might be a price to pay, considering he is a freshman, but Haynes said the expectations won’t be compromised.

“We’re expecting him to go out there, know what he’s doing and be productive,” he said. “You know also, he’s a confident kid. Some guys get out there and get rattled, and that’s not Ryan.”

Although a freshman, May writes how Shazier has the proper mentality. Shazier made this point last week after he was asked what he thought of a roughing-the-passer penalty called on him.

“I feel it wasn’t a roughing-the-passer call, but that’s what every defensive player is going to think when they hit the quarterback,” Shazier said.

When asked whether he was ready for the responsibility of being a starter, he replied succinctly.

“Yes, sir.”
