Saw he got some snaps against Purdue - good to see as I believe he was out for a while with an injury.

Heck of a play by the freshman this weekend. I wonder if we will see him against Oregon as he seems to be coming on strong.

That was textbook coverage on a deep go route, looked really natural on that play staying in the hip pocket and turning to the ball. Pretty awesome that West and Scott got to play a decent bit in a CFP game, they'll need to step up next year. Cool part is they got a year of valuable development behind our fantastic veteran corners before we have to rely on them.

Good recovery, Herbie? Do you even bother to watch the games or just make things up, or both? West was with the receiver the whole way. If you are already on the receiver you really don't have to recover.
Edit: Maybe if I typed faster or used fewer words my post would have gotten up first.

Our church has no bells.
SO, SO much to like from that. He was: with the receiver all the way, actually turned to see and play the ball, actually played the ball without interfering, and (this was my favorite part and I didn't notice until I watched the slo-mo) he continued to play the ball after initial contact to ensure that the receiver didn't make some kind of epic catch coming down and/or while on his back. Great play from anybody, but, damn, he's a freshman who hasn't gotten a lot of live reps.

Too soon old, too late smart
Tend to agree, the best part of the Tennessee game is that Day & Co made a conscious decision to play alot of players in the fourth quarter. Evaluation? probably. To get them into the first 12 team playoff game? absolutely. the CBs did well, as noted above, RBs not so much, OL, OK. QBs well, no one lit it up, mostly handing off to RBs until a telegraphed 3rd down pass needed, bounced twice before getting to the receiver, I believe. But they did get live reps, and also believe the UT kept in their starters. Anyway, glad it happened (shoulda happened in early part of season, but water under the bridge). Go Bucks!

"We Feed Off Each Other": Aaron Scott and Bryce West Still Relishing Playing Alongside Each Other As Both Prepare for Crucial Year Two

Cornerbacks Bryce West and Aaron Scott Jr. made no secret about their desire to play alongside each other at the collegiate level.
Throughout their recruiting process, both of them continuously publicly praised the other. The pair became close friends as both ascended to top-ranked recruits in the state of Ohio for the 2024 recruiting class. Both committed to Ohio State in the same summer, though Scott’s commitment had a little more flair attached considering he used a smoke machine to trick Michigan fans.
Year One for both players has come and gone, though the excitement of playing with the other hasn’t waned.
“It’s always good because in practice, he’s on the opposite side of me, so every time we make a play, we huddle up together and celebrate the other’s success,” West told Eleven Warriors before the Rose Bowl. “We watch film together. We do everything together. That’s my guy. It’s good to compete with him, we don’t let the other slack and help each other out when we make a mistake, it’s no issue for us.”
Scott and West are sometimes practically attached to the hip together at practice, with each reminding the other of the goals they set for themselves.
“We just tell each other we have to keep going,” Scott said. “We both know we’re trying to be the two players from Ohio and keep standing on everything we were saying we were going to do. We feed off each other, we’re both trying to compete but we both know we’re in it together.”
West and Scott spent their freshman seasons primarily in reserve roles for the Buckeyes at cornerback, but both occasionally saw the field when Ohio State built large leads over opponents. Scott played in seven games and recorded two tackles and one pass breakup, while West appeared in seven contests for OSU, making one tackle and one pass breakup.
“I’ve improved a lot on my off-man coverage,” Scott said of the biggest takeaway for him in Year One. “I feel like I got more patient. I didn’t play a lot of off-man in high school, but I’m doing that now, so that’s the main thing I feel like I needed to work on.
West also played in seven contests, including on special teams. The highlight of his first year came in Ohio State’s College Football Playoff victory against Tennessee as he made a pass breakup late in the contest, something he said he wasn’t expecting to get a chance to do considering his role on the team and the stakes surrounding the game.
