This is only the second time (in 121 years) that Ohio State has named six captains.
They are seniors: Brian Rolle, Cameron Heyward, and Ross Homan on defense; Bryant Browning, Dane Sanzenbacher, and Brandon Saine on offense.
This team has a helluva lot of quality senior leadership (they couldn’t pick just four), and with plenty of other upperclassmen in the wings for support (Boren, Larimore, Brewster, Chekwa, Pryor, Moeller ect. ect.) solid team leadership is just another reason for such lofty expectations this year.
If nothing else, as ElevenWarriors points out, it gives us an intimidation advantage at the coin flip, even though Heyward can probably handle that duty on his own.
