Daily Bullets (Nov. 5): OSU Defense Searching for Answers, Grading Pokes Post-Baylor

Happy Bedlam week!

OSU defense still searching

When OSU turned the ball over on downs on fourth-and-3 late Saturday against Baylor, there wasn’t exactly a high amount of confidence that OSU’s much-maligned defense — which absolutely melted late against the Bears — was up for a stop. Turns out, it wasn’t. New DC Jim Knowles is shouldering the blame for what happened less than 90 seconds of game time later, but no longer making excuses.

“We’ve had this defense awhile and ultimately it just boils down to I’ve got to do a better job with the boys and get ‘em more prepared and keep working on their habits,” Knowles said.
