As dominant as Ohio State has been in the first half of the 2022 season, there aren’t a ton of glaring areas of concern that the Buckeyes need to address during their bye week.
One position group that hasn’t yet performed up to the Buckeyes’ high standard of expectations, however, is their cornerbacks.
Throughout the first half of the season, there were recurring examples of Ohio State’s cornerbacks getting beat in one-on-one situations and giving up big plays through the air.
Denzel Burke has been under the microscope after giving up a number of big plays this season, including a 58-yard catch to Arkansas State’s Champ Flemings, a 40-yard touchdown catch to Toledo’s Jerjuan Newton and a 14-yard touchdown catch as well as a 26-yard reception to Rutgers’ Sean Ryan.
