Ohio State's players have had 11 days to process, stew with and learn from the Buckeyes' loss to Oregon. On Wednesday, a small collection of them met with the media.
With defense being a major talking point coming off Ohio State's defeat to the Ducks, linebacker Cody Simon said he feels "blame" for the Buckeyes' shortcomings on that side of the ball and "pressure" to fix the issues. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is confident in OSU's ability to bounce back, saying the team is prepared to “combat every adversity” they face.
Running back TreVeyon Henderson was the last of Ohio State's three captains who spoke with the media on Wednesday while Eleven Warriors also got some one-on-one time with center Seth McLaughlin.
