I think we've got a good chance to shut Miami out. Just come to play boys and referees call the fucking holding!

I do not choose to discuss it
Texas A&M took the basic scouting report on Beck - he sucks under pressure, and sold out on blitzes to bring pressure. As pointed out in this video, those blitzes left them unsound in run defense on basically every single big run Miami had.
The Ohio State defense has been the exact opposite of this all year - don’t worry about pressure and stay assignment sound (with Arvell Reese being noticeably held back from blitzing in the second half of the season, most obviously).
I am supremely confident that Ohio State’s defense can strike a much better balance between bringing pressure to make Beck’s life hell without leaving vulnerability in the run defense.

Question: Logan George has been injured a large part of the season. Does anyone know if he can apply for a red shirt this year?

I'm pretty sure he can apply for Medical redshirt. And the NCAA is essentially neutered, so he could probably get it granted.

Historic defense on the PPG side but not very aggressive. 3rd down issues that had shown themselves vs Penn State and Indiana (good teams) were there again. They don’t do enough to disrupt and get off the field.
Also, what? 15 turnovers on the 14 game season. I think 3 of those were vs. Grambling.
Not the reason they lost - they even got a key turnover. But backbreaking situations where they could have done more. Credit to Beck and Miami making plays too. They were pretty flawless.

The soft coverage was frustrating. Made it way too easy on Beck and allowed him to get in a rhythm. Still, they were outstanding all year and I loved this D. Shame the offense couldn't hold up their end
