Ohio State football's defensive line set itself up for a big matchup with Penn State.
That statement referred to the group’s potential ceiling, not its need to raise the floor. Halfway through the season, I’m more convinced than ever. Saturday’s performance reinforced how the four players up front can make this a defense that strangles opponents.
That starting group, you may remember, all contributed to the foundational defensive effort of the 17-14 win at Notre Dame on Sept. 23.Like the Iirsh, Penn State features NFL offensive line talent in tackle Olu Fashanu, with center Hunter Nourzad guard Olaivavega Ioane and tackle Caedan Wallace also coming along. Ohio State wants to rattle first-year starting quarterback Drew Allar, but through six games this protection unit has allowed only four sacks.
Tuimoloau, Williams and company continued their upward trajectory at Purdue. If they do it again Saturday they will take the Buckeyes’ playoff hopes into another tier as well.Marvin Harrison Jr. did not need more motivation for the Penn State game. He’s a Pennsylvania native playing his final season of college football playing a de facto mid-season Big Ten championship elimination game.
Harrison still put up 106 yards and a touchdown on the six balls he did catch. A weird day in wet conditions, but something he might try to make up for quickly.Does the Dallan Hayden redshirt consideration really make sense? Under what scenario does he both have a breakthrough as OSU’s lead back in coming seasons and still stick around for a fifth year?
