Ohio State’s defense has been focusing on scoring defensively, and it’s working

You might have noticed this season that Ohio State’s defense has been pretty great so far. There were widespread expectations around the country for the Buckeyes to be experiencing growing pains on both sides of the ball, but especially defense, where the Buckeyes lost eight (!) starters. Somebody that was watching the Buckeyes this year for the first time might not recognize such a turnover, because they’ve been that good. But part of what’s made them so great is the turnovers, which to be fair, plenty of teams are good at. But the Buckeyes have been able to take those a step further, and capitalize immediately.
