INDIANAPOLIS — Jon Runyan Jr. knew just by the sound. The Michigan Wolverines left tackle didn’t need to see the sack to know his quarterback Shea Patterson had been demolished. He heard the hit, the slam and the gasp forced out of Patterson when he hit the ground.
Runyan, like so many tackles in college football the past three years, had been beaten by Ohio State defensive end Chase Young. And his teammate paid the price.
“I looked at Shea and apologized to him right there,” Runyan said.
