Ohio State's offensive line without McLaughlin at center and Simmons at OT is... really not great for a top 10 team.
With McLaughlin they have the #12 interior OL in my player evaluation system. Without him they drop to #48. They looked like it against Michigan.
With Simmons they're #34 at OT. Without him they drop to #63.
Overall they've got the #59 offensive line. Below Mississippi State and Kentucky. and 4 spot above Vanderbilt.
Meanwhile we're #9 at the interior DL and #5 on the edge (with Pearce Jr. as the #1 edge player in the country).
