The gang that’s been available for Ohio State since the Indiana game is all here.
There are no major surprise injuries for Ohio State entering its College Football Playoff quarterfinal showdown with Oregon. The only regular contributors listed on the Buckeyes’ availability report are center Seth McLaughlin and left tackle Josh Simmons, who both suffered season-ending injuries during the regular season.

RB TC Caffey (Season) S Brenten “Inky” Jones QB Mason Maggs (Season) C Seth McLaughlin (Season) OT Josh Simmons (Season) |
The only new addition to the status report is walk-on safety Brenten “Inky” Jones, who has been a contributor on special teams for the Buckeyes. Walk-on quarterback Mason Maggs was listed as out against Tennessee in Ohio State’s last game and is now out for the season per the Oregon status report. Maggs played one snap this season against Western Michigan in Week 2.
Ohio State will plan to use the same lineup on the offensive line it used against the Volunteers with McLaughlin and Simmons’ continued absence. Donovan Jackson will start at left tackle, Carson Hinzman at center and Josh Fryar at right tackle while Austin Siereveld, Tegra Tshabola and Luke Montgomery rotate at guard. Montgomery is expected to play exclusively left guard and Tshabola exclusively right guard while Siereveld swings between the two spots.
The Buckeyes and Ducks kick off at 5 p.m. Eastern Time, 2 p.m. local time from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The winner of their rematch in the CFP quarterfinals will advance to play the winner of Texas and Arizona State in the CFP semifinals at the Cotton Bowl.
