Throughout the course of the offseason, Eleven Warriors is taking an in-depth look at the state of every position group at Ohio State.
In 2018, Ohio State had a two-safety defense. In 2019, it went with a single-high safety and attempted to implement a hybrid linebacker-safety position called the "bullet" but didn’t utilize it much. In 2020, the coaches rolled out a similar single-safety defense without any thought of the bullet but with some more two-safety looks thrown in.
Now in 2021, the Buckeyes are expected to bring the bullet back – though, to be fair, it’s hard to bring something back that never truly existed.
