SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S DOMINATING DEFENSIVE LINE, DWAYNE HASKINS' TIGHT END DAYS, AND TUF BORLAND'S NAME CHANGE
UNBLOCKABLE. If you thought Ohio State's defensive line was living in the backfield on Saturday, you would be right.
Following the 77-31 decimation of Oregon State, Dre'Mont Jones and Nick Bosa received the top grades in the nation at their respective positions, according to PFF. Playing just under half a game, each had two sacks and Bosa had a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Chase Young made his debut start and finished second in the nation in quarterback pressures from the edge position.
This defensive line is going to be a problem.

5 things learned from Ohio State’s 52-3 drubbing of Rutgers
The true vaunted defense
During last week’s Notre Dame-Michigan game, there was numerous mentions to the Wolverines having a vaunted defense. That “vaunted” defense ended up giving up 24 points in a loss—and looked like swiss cheese most of the night.
Through two weeks of the season, it appears that the true vaunted defense is about a couple hundred miles south of Ann Arbor, and resides in Columbus.
While Rutgers is no Notre Dame, the Buckeyes frontline did what they were predicted to do in the preseason: shut down the opposing offense.
Nick Bosa and Chase Young terrorized quarterback Artur Sitkowski and running back Raheem Blackshear on a rainy, wet Saturday. Young had a pair of sacks, and nearly forced a fumble on one of them— well, he did force it, the refs just screwed up the review. Bosa added a sack of his own to end the half, which would cause Sitkowski, a true freshman, to not return in the second half. Those two combined for all of the sacks in the game, and caused all sorts of havoc to the RU offense. Of the 13 drives Rutgers had, six were three-and-outs, and the average starting distance was at the RU22.
With the OSU D consistently busting through the line, Sitkowski was forced to make screen plays and quick throws. Neither was very effective. Sitkowski completed 6-of-18 passes for a measly 38 yards. His backup, fifth-year senior Giovanni Rescigno, didn’t do any better. He went 5-of-12 for 27 yards, but did lead the Scarlet Knights on a field goal drive.
Blackshear led the rushing attack, going for 31 yards on nine carries. It should be noted, though, that 15 of those yards came on a single rush.
Only two receivers caught more than one pass. Blackshear had three for a whopping 12 yards; Bo Melton hauled in two receptions for an astounding seven yards. No receiver had over 15 yards of receiving. Think about that: Of the eight receivers who caught passes, none of them had a game-total of 15 receiving yards. Great defense or bad offense? I think it’s more defense than offense.
Both Rutgers QBs slung picks, with Kendall Sheffield and Shaun Wade tallying an interception apiece.
If the Buckeye offense was causing defensive coordinators to have nightmares of Haskins throwing at will, then the Buckeye defense has to have offensive coordinators twisting and turning in their sleep, with the image of Bosa and Young gobbling their QBs.

That was a confidence builder. Much better fundamentals. I want to temper my enthusiasm until I see the result of the TCU game.

I know it was against the backups but I want to see Justin Hilliard get more playing time.

Against Rutgers I didn’t see the explosion from our RB ..they got what the OL got them but didn’t see them get more on their own. Maybe conditions limited their cutbacks etc.

I'd probably move Browning from his MLB spot or have him behind Hilliard tbh.

Backing up the two co-starters(Browning & Borland)at MLB is Justin Hilliard and Teradja Mitchell is behind him.
Keandre Jones is backing up Harrison.
Dante Booker is backing up Werner.
Guys like Dallas Grant and K’Vaughn Pope are still on the bench...just an embarrassment of riches right now.

Defensive thread Onebuck... that said Rutgers alignment tried to take away the run and even Ash talked about that needing to be their Objective. That said we still averaged over 5 yards a carry and Weber/Dobbins were done essentially at half time.
Giving them each just 1 more crack at it could've meant a 70 yard score. Least of our concerns is our two 1k yard backs

New Guys:
Impressed with what I've seen from Werner
Wade looked really good against Rutgers
Togai and Vincent lining up together and getting a good amount of playing time is going to really help down the road.
Tyler Friday has caught my eye. The dude can ball. He will be a force down the road.
