Ohio State football’s visit to SoCal is in full swing out in Pasadena as the team prepares to play in the Rose Bowl on Saturday. Yesterday we got some video and pictures of the Buckeyes at Disneyland in Anaheim, and today, assistant coach Matt Barnes and some of the defensive players were made available for a media session in downtown Los Angeles.
What we do know, is that change is afoot on the defensive side of the ball with former Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles hired to plug some leaks that sprung on the defense his year. That will without a doubt impact Matt Barnes who has been the main defensive play caller ever since changes were made a couple of games in because of some suspect play on that side of the ball.
In case you missed any of what was said by Barnes who seems to have a real affinity for Ohio State and Columbus, we’ve got the transcripts of the wide-ranging media session from Tuesday in downtown L.A.
