It sounds like Luke Wypler is prepared for a second straight start at center for Ohio State this week.

Buckeyes coach Ryan Day told reporters that Wypler is “ready to start” again with Harry Miller’s status still unclear. He was listed as unavailable for Ohio State’s season opener against Minnesota last week, but no reason was given as to why.

Wypler was a big part of Ohio State’s success on the offensive line in Week 1, helping the Buckeyes protect quarterback CJ Stroud. In fact, Pro Football Focus reports the Buckeyes were the only B1G team to not give up a quarterback hit, which speaks to how well the O-line blocked.

With a showdown with Oregon looming this weekend, Ohio State will look to continue that success and protect Stroud, who had a big game against Minnesota.

Kickoff between the Ducks and the Buckeyes is set for Sept. 11 at noon ET on FOX.
