The latest NCAA statistics have us as the #1 rush defense in the country at less than 50 yards per game (49.4). The #2 team is LSU at 60.3 ypg and #3 is USC with 68.2 ypg. But the biggest measure is yards per carry, and this is where we blow everyone away: We give up 1.53 ypc, while the next best team (USC) gives up over a half yard more per carry (2.05 ypc). Unreal. Also, only three other teams have given up fewer rushing TDs than us (LSU and Georgia with 2 each, and Iowa with 3).

Just imagine of our 2003 run defense had gotten the chance to play against our 2003 run offense, led by the Big 3 of Lydell Ross (4.3 ypc), Maurice Hall (3.3 ypc), and Ira Gulford (2.3 ypc).

The superstitious could say comments in this thread jinxed the Buckeyes. By the end of the regular season their defense surrendered 2.0 yards per carry, and 62.3 yards per game. Not shabby by any means, but quite a letdown after the first eight games.

Yes, I'm guilty of jinxing them too.
