I’m sure they’re going to be fine too. But if they want to beat Penn State on the road, they’re going to have to tighten up their defense against the running game.
Penn State ran for 297 in the B1G Championship. Ohio State ran for 181. Their two main backs ran for 94 and 85 yards respectively. Ashton Jeanty ran for 192 against us. Our run defense has been shitty for years now and it's all on Tosh.
Granted, they have only given up 3 TDs in 3 games, but I would like to see more 5-man fronts. Right now they mostly go with 2 huge DTs along with the two edge/DEs. I think they need a package where they still keep Matayo and Teitum in the game, but add a 3rd DT. They have the depth to do it. They can then vary the back 7. (5 DBs vs 4) I am not saying this needs to be their base D lineup, but hopefully they have it in the event they go up against a team that wants to pound it on the ground all day long.
