Ohio State has been one of the most dominant teams in the trenches this season, but the Buckeyes will be shorthanded up front when they face Miami next Wednesday.
Head coach Ryan Day confirmed, via Dave Biddle, that starting right guard Tegra Tshabola will miss the next couple of weeks with an injury. In his place, Gabe Van Sickle and Josh Padilla are expected to split reps at right guard against the Hurricanes.
Tshabola, a redshirt senior, has been a veteran on Ohio State’s offensive line since 2024. He has 28 career starts and started all 13 games this season.
With this game likely decided in the trenches, it’s a notable development. Miami boasts one of the best defensive lines in the country, and Ohio State’s decision to rotate at right guard could give the Hurricanes an edge up front heading into the matchup.
