Matt Patricia getting up to speed as Ohio State's new defensive coordinator

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Matt Patricia knows the pressure that comes with defending a championship and the limited amount of time that accompanies it.

Whether or not Patricia can have the same success in college will be a work in progress.

Patricia is still getting up to speed after being named Ohio State's defensive coordinator on Feb. 20. After spending most of his career coaching in the NFL, Patricia has received positive reviews for his work during the first three weeks of the Buckeyes' spring practices.

“I think the feedback from our players has been good,” head coach Ryan Day said.
