2022 Rose Bowl, tOSU vs Utah, Jan 1st @ 5pm EST, ESPN

I'm not worried about the DE's. I think Sawyer and JTT will step up. We, converseley, haven't had top tier linebacker play in several years, and our DB's have regressed seriously the last two. He's got a job ahead of him, but I'd say the DL is probably third in line.
I don't know about that. The d-line got owned, and everyone knows a good DL improves the secondary. So that said, the DL would be first priority.

You lead with an elite, not just serviceable or good enough, DL. It has to be this way.

Best LB in the world is no good if the OL get to him consistently. Best DBs will give up plays to a good offense with a QB who has time to find them.

My #1 fix is getting back to elite DL. You have to be good at every level but you have to be elite at DL and '21 was as far from that as has been the case in a long, long time at OSU.
