2007 tOSU Spring Practice (official thread)

'Tis blessed to have two shut-down corners.

I was just about to post in this thread about the very same topic. DW3 could be the clamp when it comes to this defense. You know no one is going to throw at Malcolm, so if we had another shutdown CB...it could be a long season of offense for our opponents because I already have faith in the run D. We shall see...but confident I am.

But the brute that is the Buckeyes football monster usually seems to have one bicep that is bigger than the other, and coming out of spring practice, that looks like the case again.

Two years ago, it was a rugged defense led by All-American linebacker A.J. Hawk that parlayed its dominant performance into a share of the Big Ten championship for Ohio State, a win over rival Michigan, and a Fiesta Bowl victory over Notre Dame. The offense was very good, but the defense, which sent the majority of its starters into NFL camps, was great.

We will have the best Defense in the big ten. I know Wisconsin is talented but forget about it. The talent, the Depth, the experience is so strong on Defense.

On the other hand our Quarterback situation.. ehhhhh
