Lathan Ransom comments on motivation, performance of teammate against Arkansas State

As Lathan Ransom and his Ohio State teammates prepare themselves for Toledo, Ransom looks back on last week’s game versus Arkansas State.

Even though the Buckeyes won 45-12, Arkansas State might be considered by some as an easy victory for the Buckeyes, Ransom is not taking any team for granted including Toledo, nor should he. As proven last week, there are not many cupcake opponents anymore.

As proven by how well the Red Wolves moved the football at times against the Buckeyes. Ransom commented on some of his teammates’ play last week including Denzel Burke who struggled a little bit last Saturday.

Of Burke’s play, Ransom said that he is “still one of the best corners in the country.”

Ransom also talked about how much he missed football. Ransom said he felt a little lost without the game and that was one of the driving motivations for his comeback, as he suffered a leg fracture last season.

“I wasn’t supposed to play in that first game,” said Ransom.
