If your interior Oline is indeed not what it once was then that plays I'm to the hands of a very big Buckeye advantage. I think we could enjoy a healthy defensive performance.

The interior isn't but some of this you have to understand is comparatively speaking. They aren't as strong and dominant but they are still well coached. They zone block a lot and some of that is taking guys who are stronger and pushing them out of position to create holes. Using their aggressiveness against them. Also they pull very well to block on the edge. But yes compared to the 2011 and 2012 teams our interior Oline is not near as good.
