COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State opened camp Sunday with immense pressure on some inexperienced players.The departure of 16 starters -- including nine juniors who bolted early for the NFL -- has left fifth-year coach Urban Meyer with the least experienced team hes had during his time in Columbus -- and one of the least experienced in the country.Lk at the numbers: 46 of Ohio States 85 scholarship players are redshirt freshmen or true freshmen who have never played for the Buckeyes. Meyer and his staff have work to do and questions to answer.A redshirt freshman likely will replace NFL draft first-rounder Ezekiel Elliott at tailback, and the only receivers with some game experience are returning from injuries. There are starting spots just about everywhere else up for grabs.Im counting on about practice 12 (being) that line of demarcation where Ill tell you what kind of team well have, Meyer said. If we see some guys step up like we did in 14 and last year, then we have a chance to be special, because athleticism is not an issue. Chemistry, toughness, those kinds of things, I just dont know yet.Lucky for Meyer, one of his returning starters is quarterback J.T. Barrett, who has attained legend status at Ohio State even though hes only a junior. He came on in the wake of Braxton Millers injury in 2014 to lead the Buckeyes to an 11-1 record before breaking his ankle in the Michigan game and giving way to Cardale Jones, who led the team to a national championship. Last year he tk over for Jones as the starter in the eighth game and led the Buckeyes to a 12-1 finish and No. 4 national ranking.Barrett said that despite the unsettled depth chart and many new faces, the first day of camp on a sunny, steamy afternn felt familiar.I dont think it feels crazy different, he said. Even with the guys we had last year, it wasnt like the approach was any different. We still had the same type of install with our basic plays, making sure we get really gd at those plays, so thats the same thing we did here. With the experience we had last year, it wasnt like there was a different approach. And we still have the same feel. Everybody came out there juiced up and ready to go. Theres just different numbers, different faces.Center Pat Elflein and right guard Billy Price return as starters on the offensive line, with Jamarco Jones already penciled in at left tackle. Raekwon McMillan is set at middle linebacker, and the same with Gareon Conley at one of the cornerback spots. Redshirt freshman Mike Weber, a four-star recruit from Detroit, is expected to start at tailback replacing Elliott, who was one of the greatest Buckeyes running backs of all time. Starting jobs just about everywhere else will have to be earned in the next few weeks.Ohio State began drills with freshmen and other newcomers on Sunday morning, and with veteran players battling through a workout in the afternn heat.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Cains first win in more than two months didnt come easily and it certainly wasnt enough to put to rest concerns about the back end of the Giants rotation.Hitting a three-run homer, though, had the three-time All-Star and former staff ace feeling a lot better about things.More importantly, it also helped jumpstart San Franciscos slumping offense.Cain pitched into the sixth inning after hitting his first home run in four years, and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-7 on Tuesday night.Its just nice to go out there and be able to contribute, Cain said. It was a big win for us tonight and something that was definitely needed.Brandon Crawford had three hits and two RBI, and Buster Posey and Denard Span added two hits apiece for the Giants. San Francisco won for only the second time since the All-Star break.It had been longer than that for Cain.The right-hander failed to make it past the fourth inning in his three previous starts and wasnt much better against the Reds. He retired nine of his first 10 batters but quickly wore down and left with one out in the sixth after giving up the first of two homers by Adam Duvall.Cain (2-6) allowed four runs, struck out four and walked one to win for the first time since May 21.I had a couple of (pitches) toward the end that kind of ran out over the plate, but for the most part I did a better job of limiting mistakes, Cain said.Duvall added his second home run of the game in the eighth. Joey Votto and Jay Bruce also went deep for Cincinnati.The Giants broke out of their offensive funk with 13 hits and nine runs, the most by manager Bruce Bochys club in nearly a month.San Francisco scored four times in the second capped by Cains seventh career home run, his first since July 21, 2012.The Giants made it 5-0 in the third on Grant Greens fielders choice groundout with runners on the corners. Umpires initially ruled that Green hit into an inning-ending double play, but Bochy challenged second baseman Brandon Phillips tag of Belt and got the call overturned.Cincinnati chipped away behind Votto and Duvall before San Francisco pulled away on Crawfords two-run triple in the seventh.Bruce and Duvall hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth off Sergio Romo.ddddddddddddDuvalls homer was his fifth in four games.Santiago Casilla allowed a run in the ninth but got three outs for his 22nd save. He struck out Bruce with a runner on to end it.Thats us: We dont do anything easy, Bochy said. To get a win, its a gd thing right now. Weve been in a tough stretch.Reds starter Cody Reed (0-5) allowed six runs over five innings in his first career appearance against the Giants.We found our way back into the ballgame against their best guys, Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. It was a gd feeling to be able to come back and rally. It gave the guys a gd sign.HOMERS HEALTHHomer Bailey rejoined the Reds before the game following his latest rehab outing in the minors and is likely to make his first major league start in more than 15 months Sunday when Cincinnati ends its six-game road trip in San Diego. Price said the team is monitoring the right-handers health after he threw 98 pitches for Triple-A Louisville on Monday. I think hes fine, I think hes conditioned, I think hes ready to pitch for us, but we wont announce and make that commitment until he gets through the next 48 hours, Price said. It could be Saturday, but the probability is its Sunday.TRAINERS RMGiants: 3B Ramiro Pena left with a bruised groin after taking a bad hop on pinch-hitter Ivan De Jesus grounder in the seventh.
