2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

I agree. Stick with Alford and Pettijohn at linebacker. Play Wilder a lot more. Plug Perez in there. Obviously Timmons stays on the field. Grady will probably help as well. Need to see less Atkinson and Pierce imo. Sanchez hasn't lived up to the hype so far, may need to see the Georgia transfer in there with longer minutes. Obviously I'm not a coach but seems like a different approach may fruit better results.

Offense.

OL & QB struggle with the "graduate level" coursework. Jeremiah is the greatest in school history. Plenty of talent to beat scUM

Defense - reminds me of going from 05 to 06. The defensive front isn't as flexible because of the loss at LB. But instead of the shifts between 4-3 and 3-3, we're lacking in the shifts between our 4-2, penny/"walk" and odd fronts. So the ability to eliminate the B gap bubbles and still have edge threats are severely reduced while using the same personnel. Something we enjoyed last year with the utility between Sonny & Arvell

Different squads, Different eras. Same problems - replacing players.

Especially vs the teams that’ll ruthlessly run the ball it could be a rough go. Games like Indiana, Oregon, USC and TCUN are going to be gut checks for this defense
We’re going to have to outscore people.

Good thing we have Him.

Just throw him the goddamned ball and I’ll take my chances.
