Jim Knowles Encouraging Ohio State Cornerback Davison Igbinosun to Keep Playing Physical

Davison Igbinosun took some lumps alongside the quality plays he made against Indiana Saturday.

Easily the most evident was a fourth-quarter pass interference penalty that gifted the Hoosiers a first down on 4th-and-2. While the call was “iffy,” in Igbinosun’s words, it made him consider a change in approach — even if his efforts helped the Buckeyes hold Indiana to a mere 82 passing yards Sept. 2.

“Now that I know stuff like that has occurred, I’ll probably just start running the routes for the receiver and not be overly physical,” Igbinosun said.

Thing is, that’s not what Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles wants.
