DE Chase Young (Nagurski, Hendricks, Bednarik, Silver Football, NFL DROY, New Orleans Saints)

FOOTBALL: CHASE YOUNG SETS NEW OHIO STATE SACK RECORD

IMG_6021-1-530x353.jpg


A two-game suspension only delayed the inevitable for Chase Young.

With a half sack of Penn State redshirt freshman quarterback Will Levis in the third quarter, the junior defensive end set the new Ohio State single-season sack record, giving him 14.5 on the year.

The previous record was set 14, set by former defensive lineman Vernon Gholston in 2007.

Young entered the game leading the nation in sacks per game, at 1.69, and tied the Ohio State high-mark for sacks in a game with four against Wisconsin in his previous outing for the Buckeyes.

His 15.5 tackles for loss were second in the nation before the matchup with Penn State.

Young tied the record in the first quarter, bringing redshirt sophomore quarterback Sean Clifford down to earn a half sack alongside junior linebacker Baron Browning.

FOOTBALL: CHASE YOUNG DOESN'T MISS A BEAT IN THREE-SACK RETURN AGAINST PENN STATE

edit-4806-530x353.jpg


Outscored 17-14 in the second half after turning the ball over three times against Penn State Saturday, the nation learned Ohio State is human.

Chase Young on the other hand, may not be.

The end of the junior pass rusher’s two-game suspension was not his only cause for celebration, as his record-setting three-sack performance against Penn State showed he didn’t lose a step since the world last saw him in action three weeks ago.

“Oh my gosh, I just think Chase Young deserves to be in New York,” head coach Ryan Day said. “How dominant of a player is Chase Young? And the impact he has on the game is just unbelievable.”

Young usually occupies a spot among Ohio State’s front line coming out of the tunnel ahead of a game. Today though, the team captain came flying out ahead of the pack in a display of exuberance that would forecast the storm to come for Penn State.

Nearly before fans could take a seat, Young was already in the Nittany Lion backfield, but couldn’t quite grab the sack that would put him over Vernon Gholston’s Ohio State single-season record 14.

Penn State redshirt sophomore quarterback Sean Clifford couldn’t elude Young for long though, and a half sack tied Gholston and pinned the Nittany Lion offense at its own 5-yard-line on fourth-and-23.

The Buckeye defense held Penn State to just 64 total yards in its scoreless first half, and redshirt senior defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton said Young was a big reason why.

“It just makes it a little bit easier knowing that most of the attention is on him,” Hamilton said. “It makes rushing the quarterback easier.”

Just sayin': Being the #1 pick in the NFL draft may actually be better than wining the Heisman Trophy; however, Burrow will probably be the #1 pick too. The NFL teams just put a premium on a potential "franchise QB".

Being the #1 draft pick right now means going to Cincinnati. It's not better than winning the Heisman Trophy.

The Bengals need a QB. If they don't want Burrow there will be plenty of teams that do and would be more than willing to trade multiple high round picks for the the #1 pick in 2020. The Bengals would have to trade, they need more picks, they have too many needs.

CHASE YOUNG AS DOMINANT AS EVER IN OHIO STATE'S WIN OVER PENN STATE, HIS FIRST GAME BACK FROM SUSPENSION

109295_h_0.jpg


Ryan Day and Jeff Hafley didn’t need to say much to express how they felt about the way Chase Young performed in Ohio State’s 28-17 win over Penn State on Saturday.

After Ohio State’s superstar defensive end recorded nine total tackles, four tackles for loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles in Saturday’s game, his first game in nearly a month after he was suspended two games for an NCAA violation, Day and Hafley both made it clear that there’s no one they’d rather have at the forefront of their defense.

“Oh my gosh, I just think Chase Young deserves to be in New York,” Day said, referring to next month’s Heisman Trophy ceremony. “How dominant of a player is Chase Young? And the impact he has on the game is just unbelievable.”

Hafley: “If there’s a better defensive player in college football or just a better complete football player in college football, I’d like to watch his tape. I don’t say that often, but if there’s a more dominant player in the country on defense than Chase Young, somebody needs to bring me the tape and I’ll watch every snap of it.”

It’s going to be tough to find that tape.

With another dominant performance on Saturday, Young has now recorded 38 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks – setting a new single-season Ohio State record for sacks in the process – and seven forced fumbles in just nine games this season.

In Ohio State’s last four games, Young has recorded 15 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, seven sacks and four forced fumbles – and he only played in two of them.

After he recorded six tackles, five tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles in Ohio State’s 38-7 win over Wisconsin – which had been considered the Buckeyes’ biggest game of the season to date until Saturday’s game against Penn State – Young emerged as a real candidate to become the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy since Michigan’s Charles Woodson accomplished the feat in 1997.

Then came the two-game suspension, which Young had to serve after accepting a loan from a family friend that was impermissible by NCAA rules. In his interview session after Saturday’s game, his first meeting with the media since his suspension, Young opted not to discuss any specifics about the violation, preferring to keep his focus forward on the remainder of the season.

“I just made a mistake and put it behind me and just keep moving forward,” Young said.

Realistically, Young only missed two halves of football. The Buckeyes didn’t need him to beat Maryland or Rutgers, both games they won in blowout fashion, and he wouldn’t have played past halftime in either game. His statistics for the season would probably be even bigger if he played in those two games, but his performances against the overmatched Terrapins or Scarlet Knights weren’t going to be his Heisman moments.

In the national spotlight once again on Saturday, however, Young had the opportunity to remind people why many consider him to be the most dominant player in college football, and that’s exactly what he did. He brought constant pressure and made highlight-reel plays throughout the game.

On Penn State’s second possession of the game, Young was in on back-to-back tackles for loss to force a punt. On Penn State’s final possession of the third quarter, Young nearly notched a safety when he sacked Nittany Lions quarterback Will Levis at Penn State’s 1-yard line, which ultimately led to another punt. On Penn State’s final possession of the game, on which the Buckeyes rushed just three defenders and dropped eight, Young started the series off with a sack that led to a four-and-out.

The stats for today's game are not yet final, but he should now have 7 forced fumbles for the season.

Most forced fumbles in a season: Louisville's Elvis Dumervil had 10 in 2005 (in 12 games).

BTW, the record for most forced fumbles in a career is held by Buffalo's Khalil Mack, who had 16 in 48 games. Chase Young now has 10 in 33 games.
Elvis Dumervil is like a bad penny. :lol:
