Ohio State football's run of facing the Big Ten Conference's best quarterbacks begins Saturday.
“I know he’s got a whole bunch of blitzes lined up down the road for when the right time comes,” Day said. “He’s got a great defensive mind, and finding that balance is critical.”
Through four games, the four touchdowns OSU has allowed have covered a total of 6 yards. Only two teams — Iowa and UCLA — have allowed fewer than OSU’s nine plays of 20-plus yards. Limiting explosives also keeps opponents out of the red zone. Six possessions allowed inside the 20 are the fewest in the nation.
It also means trusting the four-man rush up front to create enough pressure. Third-year defensive ends J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer both still seek their first sack. The defensive line has affect the pocket fairly consistently, though.Knowles has his own, less objective measurements of success. He sees more resiliency, more accountability and more commitment to improvement.
Knowles respects Tagovailoa’s ability to extend plays into explosive opportunities. He kept coming back to the same phrase to describe the necessary approach against the veteran quarterback: “Coordinated rush.” He did not want to divulge specifics of what that will entail, but he did describe what it won’t look like.
