I’ve always been more a fan of the O than the D… in football as well as in my own sport, I was primarily on O.

That said, I’ve never in my life enjoyed watching a defense as much as I have this year. Wowza. I’m sure that someone here has said it, sorry for not giving specific credit, but when you have better players you can run a pretty ‘basic’ (that’s the word used, wasn’t it?) defense and still win a LOT of games. We’re seeing what talent combined with higher level schemes can do. It’s real and it’s spectacular.

I've always felt the same about OSU teams, just flip the offense and defense. For various reasons, I've always "liked" teams that were more carried by the defense. 2013, 2018, and 2020 through 2022 were comparative nightmares for me to watch as a fan.

This year's a damn treat to see

Ditto. It feels dirty winning with a weak defense. They signify a lack of toughness and discipline. Plus, it's almost impossible to win a national championship without an elite D, but it is possible to win without an elite O
