The Ohio State defensive line routinely gets publicity heading into every season with Larry Johnson always having a terrific unit. The 2017 group was especially praised, which is understandable considering the starting front four included Nick Bosa, Sam Hubbard, Tyquan Lewis and Dre’mont Jones.
I think the 2019 group will be even better.
Despite losing Bosa for the season against TCU last September, the line managed to have a productive season while the overall defense struggled.
Bosa’s injury forced Chase Young and Jonathan Cooper to step up and both did. That experience will pay dividends this year.
