The Ohio State defense looked dominant for its first two games of the season, but some cracks started to show at times for Jim Knowles’ unit against Marshall.
Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss a few concerning trends that he has noticed with the defense. The conversation centers around:
- Cover 4 vs 2 x 2 Detached
- Cover 1 vs 2 x 2 Detached
- Cover 4 v Trips Nub
- And a 3-deep, 3-under zone blitz
Ross explains why he understands the concerns that many fans have, and also offers some cause for optimism for the future as well.
