There’s been plenty of talk on this website, and on just about every Ohio State website this season on the struggles of Ohio State’s defense this year. Most of those complaints center around the linebacker play, and of course, the issues at safety, specifically at the free safety spot, because Jordan Fuller has been pretty solid at strong safety.
Those concerns are obviously very valid, because Ohio State, well, keeps giving up big plays, and it doesn’t seem like the talent on the team right now is capable of stopping that. The pursuit angles are bad, the tackling is bad, and the two primary starters, Isaiah Pryor and Jahsen Wint, just don’t seem ready to play at a high level.
