The training wheels were snapped off with a vengeance for Devin Sanchez against Illinois.
With starting nickel Lorenzo Styles Jr. out vs. the Illini due to injury, the Buckeyes bumped regular outside cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. to the inside while Sanchez made his first career start in Mathews’ place. Against the No. 10 passing offense in yards per attempt in college football, no less.
There were some bumps along the way. But it was a great first experience for the five-star freshman out of Texas.
“Devin graded out well,” Ryan Day said on Tuesday. “Certainly it wasn't perfect, there was things he could do better. But for a young player to play with that type of confidence in that environment was a great sign. Early on, made a nice play on a PBU and then continued to compete the entire game. So we do need to continue to build depth.”

Through highs and lows, Devin Sanchez's first career start at Illinois laid a foundation that should accelerate the development of the five-star freshman cornerback.

Isn't just the stem. Dev knows his help is inside and attack the negative break.

Football IQ and situational awareness has been raised even further since Patricia took over and it's obvious watching these players in their assignments.

AJ Hawk and that 2005 defense was 20 years ago. I'd like to think this group is doing them proud.
