Ohio State will have 2 important players on the defensive side of the ball back for The Game in Mike Hall and Tommy Eichenberg.

Neither of the players appeared on the injury report ahead of kickoff and will be ready to go. Kyion Grayes, Lathan Ransom, Kojo Antwi, Will Smith Jr., and Jason Moore were all listed as out.

Hall hasn’t played since the Michigan State game and Eichenberg last played against Rutgers.

 

Eichenberg leads Ohio State in tackles with 73 after appearing in 9 games thus far. He also has 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack. Hall has played in 10 games with 17 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks.

A shot at the B1G Championship and College Football Playoff is on the line once again. Having Hall and Eichenberg back should give the Buckeyes a boost on that side of the ball.

The hated rivals meet each other in Ann Arbor at noon ET on FOX.
