Caleb Downs Says Winning One-on-Ones Key for Ohio State Defense, Carnell Tate Sees Offensive Line Improving in Practice

A smaller-than-usual group of Ohio State players met the media on Wednesday.

With the second top-five matchup of the season on deck as Ohio State prepares to travel to Penn State this weekend, the Buckeyes seemingly made an effort to avoid giving out bulletin-board material. Only three players participated in the traditional group interview sessions on Wednesday, with just one starter among them: Wide receiver Carnell Tate, who was joined by backup tight end Bennett Christian and nickelback Lorenzo Styles Jr.

Safety Caleb Downs and wide receiver Emeka Egbuka were also made available for individual interviews on Wednesday, and Eleven Warriors caught up with each of them to get their thoughts on how Ohio State will defend the Nittany Lions and the success the Buckeyes’ passing offense has had.
