I do like the fact that the team saw some real adversity and then shined. But I don’t think it’s one half of football that offers pause. Truthfully, we’ve seen some drop off since PSU on the defensive side. Meanwhile the offense rides on the sprained MCL of Fields.

Factoring that against a Clemson team that appears to be peaking at the right time and I can see the current reaction.

Honestly it really only has been two halves of less than stellar defense. The defense looked great against Penn State (only drove the field once, short fields due to turnovers for the other two scores).

I think it's just more to do with people seeing Clemson over the past few years and giving them their respect.

DE Zach Harrison
The other crown jewel of the 2019 recruiting class for Ohio State, Zach Harrison was thought by some to be a raw talent that would need time to find meaningful playing time. That notion changed quickly. Harrison zipped through the learning curve with defensive line coach Larry Johnson and made a statement with a sack against Michigan State in a home night game. That was a flash of his potential, and he only got better as the season went on. When Chase Young was suspended for two games to begin November, Harrison was thrust into a starting role, where he played well. As Young moves on to the NFL next season, the dominance of Ohio State’s defensive line should stay in tact thanks to Harrison and the progress he has made in Year One.

C Josh Myers
Josh Myers entered the season with massive shoes to fill following the last three full-time centers at Ohio State. With a talented stable of young and old offensive linemen around him, Myers’ stock rose quickly, as he became not only one of the best centers in the country, but also a likely candidate to leave early for the NFL after just one year starting for the Buckeyes. Myers has shown he can pave a path for running backs as a road-grater. He has also shown an ability to be a great signal-caller for blitz pick-ups and protection for a quarterback. In 13 games, Myers has dazzled along the offensive line, and he’s a big reason why the Buckeyes are playing for a national title.
