INSIDE THE BOX: JUSTIN FIELDS' EFFICIENCY, CHASE YOUNG IS THE BEST LINEMAN OF THE DECADE, OFFENSIVE BALANCE
IS CHASE YOUNG THE BEST OHIO STATE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THIS DECADE?
The Predator has a legitimate chance to go down as the most prolific pass rusher in program history.
With 7.0 sacks through four games, he is exactly halfway to Vernon Gholston's record of 14.0 sacks, a mark that was accomplished in 2007. Young, barring injury, will play at least eight more games in the scarlet-and-gray, giving him ample opportunity to surpass Gholston's mark.
Since 2013, the Buckeyes have been blessed with a future top-three pick in Joey Bosa, his brother Nick, and now Chase Young. One could make the argument that Young will end his career as the best of that trio.
Assuming Young continues his career pace of 0.769 sacks per game, the third-year defensive end would tie Gholston's record in nine games, or the start of postseason play.
Considering his monster start to the season, it should not be surprising if he breaks the mark against Michigan or Penn State. As Big Ten play begins, however, his sack totals will likely start to dip. Last season, Young finished the regular season with just six sacks before exploding for four more in the postseason.
Even if he does slow down, the third-year defensive end has proved himself to be the best pass rusher in the nation.

Ho hum. Only 1 strip sack. Saved a TD by recognizing the FB dive the first time they ran option and was disciplined and pressures on many other plays.
Best defensive player in CFB.

I'm tired of seeing him stonewalled at the LOS play after play after play...
I'll go ahead and show myself out...

His stats don't even tell the tale on how dominant Chase has been. He disrupts damn near every play and even when he doesn't make the tackle, he makes the play. I can't even count how many times the ball carrier was running for the lives away from Chase and ran into another defender. I'm also off the opinion that Chase is the top player in CFB right now, he's that good.

Absolutely! He’s playing better than Clowney (sophomore season) Myles Garrett, or either Bosa. Those are the four that come to mind when I think of the great College DE’s over the last 10 years or so. Just ridiculous!

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
His stats would be even more impressive if:
1) Ohio State didn't rotate the defensive linemen.
2) he got to play a full 4 quarters.
You can see how the playing time was distributed among the DEs:

What happened to my ¤cash?
The staff seems to be playing the long game. And not the long game that ends this season. The reps that the young ones are getting will pay significant dividends next year. As far as this year goes, imagine what keeping Chase’s ankles healthy will do for the team in Nov / Dec / Jan.
