Conference Corner: Ohio State’s broken defense may cost it Big Ten title

Ohio State showed several signs a defensive collapse was imminent. Some even predicted the weekend’s struggles against the Boilermakers.

With the Buckeye’s 49-20 defeat to Purdue Saturday in West Lafayette, Greg Schiano’s defense has crumbled on the road in the Big Ten West for the second straight season.

In 2017, Iowa laid a 55-point whooping on them at Kinnick. In some ways, Saturday was a touch less ridiculous.

Kirk Ferentz rarely trots out as prolific an offense as Jeff Brohm’s current unit. The Boilermakers rank No. 10 in offensive S&P after this weekend’s performance.
