COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson has mentored seven first-round NFL draft picks and 14 players who have won Big Ten defensive player of the year or defensive lineman of the year.
But Johnson has never seen a single-game performance as dominant as the one his next great pupil, Ohio State junior defensive end Chase Young, delivered Saturday in the third-ranked Badgers' 38-7 win over No. 13 Wisconsin on Saturday. As he left the field Saturday, Johnson told ESPN that Young's day -- four sacks, five tackles for loss, two forced fumbles -- tops his list.
