Ohio State University, touted as Western Conference and national champions, enters 1943 with a thin outlook. Coach Paul Brown notes only two starters graduating, a large freshman contingent, and wartime enlistments affecting eligibility. He stresses that 20 of 42 players are under 19, with several delayed by military service, yet believes 143 could yield a strong squad if youth fills gaps.
