The Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be playing the 0-2 Tulsa Golden Hurricanes and not only has Tulsa not been able to get a win this season, but one of their losses was actually against an FCS opponent. Ohio State is favored by more than three touchdowns and although no opponent should be taken lightly, especially with how poorly the defense has been playing, Tulsa should definitely be considered a tune-up game.
The Buckeye defense has been far from productive and they need answers. Ohio State has been killing it on the recruiting trail the past few years and we know that some of these players are great and just need an opportunity. As former Buckeye head coach, John Cooper once said, “If a dog is going to bite, he’s going to bite as a pup.”
With that said let’s name some players that need to be given more snaps against Tulsa to see if they can “bite.”
I am not saying that the answer to all of the defensive woes will come out against Tulsa, but proving more time and experimenting with what you have should make some things more clear.
