2017 tOSU Defense Discussion

[scarletngray]

Iowa was the tight end and not any WR... Just come out fired up and angry and nothing will matter.

If we stop their run they have nothing.

Yep, stop the run and win the turnover battle. If our Defense can score or put us in a position to score with a turnover, it will be huge.

The defense hasn't done it all year so it would be so damn nice if they could either score or set us up with a really short field at least once.

Seriously we struggle forcing turnovers let's go defense!

Losing Hooker and Lattimore hurt more than many thought it would...

Losing Baker hut tooo.

Losing Baker hut tooo.

Not really. He is supremely athletic but loses his responsibility too much. If he played his assignment and peeled off more, like he did last year, he'd be great.

That was my sarcasm talking ..he was missing in action most of the year.

Carlton Davis de-committing and being replaced by Damon Arnette was a tough break

He wasn't the kid who OSUs medical staff wouldn't clear right?

OHIO STATE'S DEFENSIVE LINE WOULD NOT BE MOVED, HOLDING WISCONSIN TO A SEASON-LOW 60 RUSHING YARDS

Wisconsin averages 243 rushing yards a contest. The focal point of the offense, Jonathan Taylor, is the No. 3 leading rusher in the country. He averages more than 150 yards a game, leading Big Ten individual rushers by more than 50 yards a contest.

There was no confusing what Wisconsin was going to try to do on offense this game. It was just amazing that Ohio State's defensive line would have none of it. Wisconsin averages 243 rushing yards a game but was held to 60 on Saturday night.

Jonathan Taylor (UW): 15 CAR, 41 YDS

J.K. Dobbins (OSU): 17 CAR, 174 YDS
J.T. Barrett (OSU): 19 CAR, 60 YDS, 1 TD

One of the best if not the best game the DL played all year in my opinion.... especially against such a fantastic OL.

The second drive was touch and go, but after that Baker had a hell of a game.

16 tackles tonight. He was superb. Sniffed out so many screens, blew up several plays.

What could have been..he has talent but he needs to get something’s together to play on Sunday. Physical talent is only one piece.

I owe Baker an apology for my doubts of him leading up to this game (although he still covers TE's like old people screw)

Second point from last night is the Ward int was something so many of us have been asking for against these pro style teams; Put the best cover guy on the TE because that is the only guy these slappy QB's throw to.

One time they did it and momentum changing INT
