Recording four sacks among unrelenting pressure, Ohio State’s ability to get after the quarterback is a big reason why the defense dominated in the fashion it did during a“You just look at JT’s work ethic, it shows,” defensive end Caden Curry said. “That’s why it shows up on Saturdays. He works really hard and he’s a great player. I love being able to work with him every day and just seeing what he can teach me as a player and what I can take from it.
That self-assurance had to be rebuilt since the spring, Jackson added, when he was drawing rave reviews from coaches for his play. For reasons he said he couldn’t get into, he and defensive line coach Larry Johnson had to work to build it back up until it peaked during practice before the Penn State game.
“They’re always there,” Knowles said. “It’s just a matter of timing and when to do it and not put our guys in bad position. But you’re right. The more they understand it and the more we’re able to defend on the back end, the more we do it.”
