Amazing game against NW. 3 sacks, FF, and he hit Thorson's arm on one of the INTs. Game changer in most of big games this season.
Nick was technically amazing and had a motor and drive beyond any college DEs, so I think it's unfair to expect that of Chase. But if he can just get to 60% of where Nick was in those areas, he's DPOY next year. Too fast, too athletic. Just needs to put on a bit more weight and find the consistency for the entire season.

The bolded 100%. When Chase has been playing well, he is absolutely lights out and you see the potential of a top NFL pick...but he has straight up disappeared at other times. With all the experience he got this year, he will get there if he puts in the time with Coach Mic and LJ Sr., he is right on the cusp I think.

What happened to my ¤cash?
He had less effective games, for sure. Want to use the word disappeared? Try Gary, Rashan. He played scared all year. I'm not sure what he really did last year either, aside from not living up to the hype machine. If I were a tsun fan, I'd be pretty pissed with that kind of production. But, I guess they are kinda used to it by now.

I would comfortably use the word disappeared about him mid year.
I re-watched games and just focused on him every play. The motor was questionable, at best, and any old OT on any B1G team were blocking him 1:1.
Love the way he turned it around though. Kids/people aren't perfect, they are going to struggle. He did and overcame it. That's what it's all about.
Looks primed to have a huge year in '19

That is what I meant, the middle stretch of the year was tough for Chase but he turned it around in a big way. And really, he looked pretty awesome to start the year as well, just had to wonder at that time if it was because Bosa was getting so much attention. But Chase made big strides at the end and became "the guy" with Bosa out as time went along. I have no doubts he will have a monster year in '19, especially as our other guys come along at the DE position.

The key issue for Chase is motivation. He has demonstrated his abilities in the big games. he really balls out when he feels everythings on the line. Penn St., TSUN, NW the Predator was on the prowl. He just needs to make sure the same fire is their against the Rutgers of CFB.

CHASE YOUNG' FRUITFUL FIRST SEASON AS STARTER FOR OHIO STATE FEATURED MORE ADVERSITY THAN ANTICIPATED
Colin Hass-Hill on December 17, 2018 at 11:47 am @chasshill
Not much went according to Chase Young’s plans this season.
After spending most of his freshman season at Ohio State watching four future NFL defensive ends – Sam Hubbard, Nick Bosa, Tyquan Lewis and Jalyn Holmes – take the majority of the snaps, he stepped into a primary role alongside Bosa and Jonathon Cooper. Time on the sidelines learning from his predecessors was well spent, but the former five-star prospect felt ready for a larger responsibility on defense. He fell into a larger role than he anticipated, though.
Young’s nearly end-of-season stat line of 32 tackles, 14 1/2 tackles for loss and 9 1/2 sacks might not prove it, but his first season as a starter didn’t pass particularly smoothly.
Adversity came early.
In the first game of the season, the sophomore rolled his left ankle. He remembers the injury came on Bosa’s first sack of the season when he tried to lean back to catch the scrambling Oregon State quarterback. Young didn’t miss any games. Two weeks later, he rolled his right ankle during his team’s victory in Dallas versus TCU.
Even though he could “barely walk” the day after beating the Horned Frogs, Young’s rolled ankles did not force him to miss action. He played a season-high 76 snaps the following week in Ohio State’s 27-26 win against Penn State and showed no signs of injury, picking up six tackles, two pass defenses and two sacks.
“Even in the Penn State game, both my ankles were rolled,” Young said on Wednesday. “Minnesota, Purdue, I was playing with two rolled ankles. It affected me with bending the edge. I didn’t have a lot of flexibility in my ankles at that time. Later in the season, I was staying in the treatment room.”
Young steadfastly claims he would have played regardless of whether Ohio State had its entire cast of defensive ends or not, but he surely felt pressure to play once the Buckeyes lost Bosa for the year to a core muscle injury suffered late in the matchup with TCU.
No date would have been perfect for Bosa to suffer a devastating injury, but the timing could hardly have been worse. Young, already dealing with a pair of rolled ankles that forced him to played at “about 80” percent of his full strength for most of the season, all of a sudden drew a significantly greater focus from offenses, which used to focus primarily on keeping Bosa in check.
“When Nick was here, they just couldn’t double us,” Young said. “They could double Nick. That would leave me free with all the one on one’s. When he went down, I got more chip blocks and double teams and stuff like that that I had to adjust to that I’d never gotten in college football before, being a young player. I even talked to coach (Johnson) about it because I was getting frustrated. Coach J talked me through it and I had to take it game by game.”
For a five-week stretch after the Penn State game, Young didn’t have nearly as much impact as he did in his two-sack game versus the Nittany Lions.
Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue Nebraska and Michigan State held him to a combined 11 tackles, one pass defense and 1/2 sack, and Young certainly felt the pressure to perform better.
“After the Penn State game, I think everybody expected something crazy every game,” Young said. “That’s what I tried to do. I tried to put it on the line every game. But offenses prepare for defense and it’s not going to go like that every game. (Johnson) said to me, early success, everybody wants greatness game after game. When I didn’t play the games I wanted to play, I would get down on myself. Like every player who wants to be great does. He told me that happens to everybody and I just tried to finish strong.”
Not until Ohio State’s game against Maryland on Nov. 17 did he finally feel healthy again.
Playing against his hometown team, Young had four tackles, including a pair of sacks. Two weeks later in the Big Ten championship game, he sacked Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson three times and forced a fumble.
“It gives me more motivation going into the offseason and what I could potentially be if I keep working hard,” Young said.
Young needed more than a month to return to full strength and figure out how to consistently make plays in backfields without Bosa, but he eventually got there.
During the season, Bosa offered some help. While living and rehabilitating in Los Angeles, he watched every Ohio State game using his log-in to watch film and gave feedback to Young – until Young told him he had more important things to worry about.
“I told him chill, get your body right and make some mills,” Young said.
At some point in the not-too-distant future, Young will be chilling and getting his millions, too, though he tries to keep that out of his mind.
“Obviously, it’s in your mind, but when you’re here you can’t think too much about it,” Young said. “You can’t forget that you’re still a college football player. You can’t forget you’re still performing for your scholarship. They say if you worry about that too much, you’re going to lose your focus on where you are right now.”
Young’s “right now” places him in the Rose Bowl with, in all likelihood, one more season remaining as a defensive end at Ohio State.
After a tumultuous, yet successful first season as a starter, he’ll be back next year, and his role won’t come as a surprise to himself or anyone else. WIth Bosa and Dre’Mont Jones off to the NFL, he’ll be the defensive linemen opposing offenses key on.
This time, he knows what's coming.

Had no idea he was fighting ankle injuries.
Explains the mid season lull
He sure as hell came on strong at the end. Looking forward to another year.

Morning Constitutional: What To Expect From Chase Young This Season
After the Cotton Bowl following the 2017 season, Ohio State defensive end Chase Young — then finishing up his freshman season — was asked if he had a target number of sacks in mind for 2018.
His response?
“Me personally, right now it’s probably 10.5 sacks,” he said at the time. “TFLs, they’re going to come. I think 10.5 sacks.”
If you fast-forward to present day and look up the Ohio State football statistics from the 2018 season and scroll down to the defensive numbers, you will see Chase Young listed with team-high 10.5 sacks.
Just as he predicted.
Young closed the 2018 season with extreme prejudice. He had 6.0 sacks and 7.0 tackles for loss over the Buckeyes’ final four games, including a 3-sack performance in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Young also ended up leading Ohio State with 14.5 tackles for loss, which was just short of Nick Bosa’s 16 as a sophomore in 2017.
So what should we expect from Chase Young in 2019 as a junior?
He may have some spoilers for everyone in the spring, but for now there is no harm in us speculating.
Not having Dre’Mont Jones on the interior anymore will take some getting used to for Young. There will be added attention from the offensive line. They can scheme things his way to lessen his impact. The going won’t be quite as easy as it was last year, not that it was ever all that easy.
Trying to project what Young will do this season is difficult, especially when you look back at other junior seasons for some talented Buckeye defensive ends.

CAN CHASE YOUNG TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO SUPERSTARDOM AND LEAD OHIO STATE'S DEFENSIVE LINE IN 2019?
When the 2018 Ohio State defense took the field for the first time against Oregon State last September, a few things became readily apparent.
The scheme was horrendous. It was a sign of things to come as the Beavers broke big play after big play, chewing up nearly 200 yards on the ground. The linebackers were consistently out of position and the secondary looked lost.
But then there was the defensive line. Anchored by All-American Nick Bosa and one of the country's best interior pass-rushers in Dre'Mont Jones, the unit came into the season with high expectations.
It was easy to see why against Oregon State. Despite the defense's ugly performance overall, a number of plays unfolded as if the defensive line wasn't blocked at all.
Bosa and Jones were a big part of that, but the pressure Chase Young applied on the opposite side seemed unfair. And despite all the flaws of the defense, it looked the line could make enough plays to keep the Buckeyes in playoff contention.
Then Bosa went down against TCU and never returned, and suddenly, Young had to step into a primary pass-rushing role.
The true sophomore was ready for that. On the biggest stage of the early season—in Happy Valley for a primetime showdown against No. 9 Penn State—Young was an absolute monster, tallying six tackles and a pair of sacks. But no play he made was bigger than his fourth quarter, fourth-down stop to seal the Ohio State victory.
Hilarious Penn State play-calling aside, Young made they play Ohio State needed to win the game. Over the course of the 2018 season, he paced the Buckeyes defensive line and finished with 10.5 sacks, which tied for the Big Ten lead. He was named second-team All Big Ten.
