It is not over until it is over.
Now it is over.
The Buckeyes held off late pushes from both Alabama and Clemson for five-star defensive end Eddrick Houston out of Buford (Ga.).
To say that people were a little nervous would be an understatement as Ohio State’s defensive line numbers were not exactly robust. A loss of Houston would have been an absolute catastrophe.
But all worked out in the end and now the Buckeyes get one of their crown jewels on defense.
