Ohio State plans to win the fight on the interior with its dynamite defensive tackle duo this fall.

Neither of the Buckeyes’ power-load combo, Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton, has heard AC/DC’s 1975 smash hit “TNT,” but with two fitting first names and violent reputations along the defensive line, they’ve found it to be the perfect nickname.

“We're out there, we call each other TNT. It's like an explosion every time we're on the field,” Hamilton said.

There’s even a secret handshake that goes with it.

“We act like a bomb is on the ground and we jump,” Williams said.
