2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

I kindof forgot about Justin Scott. Brugler has him as a top 50 pick. That was a tough recruiting loss

Did the pass rush look better compared to last week: Y/N?

Yes, but I think Iowa has a crappy offense that requires a QB to hold the ball too long and WRs that struggle to get separation. They did seem to generally get more upfield push with fewer open lanes for scrambling though even factoring that in.

There’s a decent chance we don’t see last year’s defense ever again in our lifetime. Spare yourself the feelings and stop using it as a benchmark or comparison.

Remember that when 4 is gone and the rest of the WRs aren't him

Our defense took a step forward yesterday, especially with the front seven. Much more aggressive play and pressure throughout the game. And this was by multiple players. Holding Iowa to 39 yds rushing was impressive and hopefully will be a trend going into the future.
