Burrows broke his foot back in October 2015, and had to get surgery for it. There was hope that he'd back midseason this year, but it looks like his recovery will keep him out for the full season.
It is actually a decently big loss. Cam Burrows was a former composite 4* recruit, and a redshirt junior. Since Ohio State lost 3 of their 4 starters in the secondary to the NFL last year (CB Eli Apple, S Vonn Bell, S Tyvis Powell), Burrows was expected to provide experience and depth at a thin position group. At worst Burrows would have been the first safety off the bench, and could have potentially competed for either of the open safety spots this year.

Well Erik Smith and all his unfulfilled hype is there at safety too. This is certainly a depth loss, but not a death blow by any stretch.

By November, I expect them to have figured it out, because the talent is there. But so much of the safety play in quarters coverage is communication, covering for your partner and knowing where to be. That requires reps and experience to be good at (look at Vonn Bell and Tyvis's first month in 2014--subpar) and I have realistic expectations it will take time for the new guys to get up to snuff. If OSU was playing Nebraska instead of Wisconsin in early October, I'd peg that for a loss too, but I don't trust Wisconsin's QB to exploit anything. Indiana at home in early October may be closer than the experts think.

Webb moving from corner to safety is either a bad sign for his man coverage skills or a good sign for our cornerbacks in that they want Webb on the field and the other guys in front of him at corner were better, so they moved him to safety.
Conley is the only lock to be all-conference. Lattimore should be good, and is more experienced than 0 starts would indicate. Everything else is "wait and see."

But I say upvote this guy for his insightful input. I don't follow our rivals teams as much as far as their depth charts go, and I love hearing about it from a rival's perspective. This guy's cool enough to discuss this politely with rival fans, so give him some props. He (usually) doesn't cause any trouble around here.

That's assuming he's injured, and not missing the season for other reasons

A lot of talent, very little experience.

Part of the ebb and flow that is college football; which is part of the reason why it is difficult for teams to repeat. It's also why it is important that they take care of business against them and MSU this year. The iron is pretty damn hot, and they have to strike now to turn the tide in both rivalries.

Wasn't even on the 2-deep OSU put out yesterday, so not sure this effects them any....unless they knew yesterday he wasn;t going to play.
Again, wake me up when one of their starters or 2nd team guys is out.

Ohhh, I thought since he wasn't on the 2-deep is why he got "hurt" - you know urbz making his number.

I remember back in the 80's when I went to school and we won games 55-0 on the regular that I barely knew the names of 2 linemen let alone if an opposing team's second or third string safety was injured... Honestly not sure which option is better other but then again, no MGoBlog back then and MGoBlog is kind of the shit.
