Why is this news?: Ohio State led by championship-caliber defense, offensive line peaking at end of year

There aren't many differences when comparing the 2014 and 2015 Ohio State teams - at least, not when looking at the defensive side of the ball. The Buckeyes' defense this season has played at the same level as last season's national championship-winning team, but unfortunately weren't able to replicate the same success on the offensive side of the ball. With so much NFL-level talent departing from the roster after this season, the defense was primed for another championship run, but couldn't overcome the struggles from the offense. As middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan points out, there's no shortage of excellent playmakers on the defensive side of the ball at Ohio State.
