It's great that he is putting so much effort into figuring out what went wrong last year, including talking to the players. He reconfirms that tOSU was a few pass defense plays away from the title game.

Ohio State football: Chris Ash has clean slate as he begins work on secondary

Ash has a reputation for pushing press coverage and at times causing chaos for the offense by deploying unconventional looks. But conventional soundness, he said, is always at the heart of it all.

“We’re going to align (correctly) and we’re going to play great technique, great effort and good fundamentals. We’ve got to get that done,” Ash said. “But we also have to understand we’ve got to create issues for an offense. We’ve got to create problems and put pressure on the quarterback. We have to make sure in our package we can do that.

“And then when you get to third down, you’ve got to create confusion, and we’re going to do that. Those are the things that I think are important.”

Leaving Bret Bielema, the Lou Holtz tree and head coaching aspirations: Quick hits with Ohio State co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash

Why only 'good' fundamentals?

On the balance of being sound and being unusual enough to keep the offense off balance: “You’ve got to have a combination of both. We’re going to play with great technique and great fundamentals, that will be a given. But also understand that we’ve got to create issues for an offense and create pressure and create issues for a quarterback, and then when we get to third down, you’ve got to create confusion and we’re going to do that.

I'm with, I'm with it, I'm completely with it, BUT please teach them how to actually tackle! The problem with top speed "ferocity" is that it overruns the play as often as not. Our first guy misses or his "knock-out" hit turns out to only be glancing and then they've picked up another seven or eight yards before our next guy gets there. Then, the problem is that their guy is now moving at full speed and what should've been an easy tackle is potentially a touchdown.
