Is the defense legit? I guess we will find out on our own McCord: Official 2023 of THE Ohio State Buckeyes Thread

Being honest with me the defense is the biggest problem. We use to have some DOGS on that side on the field. We use to put our top athletes at LB. #35 was great but not the best athlete. I thought Zach HARRISON would have a bigger senior year. We need improvement on that side of the ball. Starts with getting back to having dominate LB.

So much this. I feel so bad for Josh Proctor. Dude was an enforcer. Got injured, came back to a scheme that didn't mesh well to his playing style. And for what? To let Maryland, Michigan and Georgia to score all over. We needed someone like him to lay the wood and spark some intensity. Not only that, but our secondary rarely got any turnovers. All the talent we've produced and this is what we have to show for? Maybe it's a talent issue or a development crisis. But Silver Bullets have not been found for the last two seasons.

Was listening to the Bucknuts podcast and just realized that we will return our entire set of offensive skill position players (if Stover returns). Plus all 3 interior OL will be back. Fryar will play RT and he did well his one start this year. On defense, we return every meaningful/impact player outside of Zach and Cam Brown (safeties….ehh, might be addition by subtraction with the new portal add and Sonny taking over).

Yeah that’s my only issue. We’ve had a run since Troy in 2004 to the present (other than the Todd Boeckman year, had to wash the stank off of that and put Terrelle in as a freshman). Gonna be really weird.
