The Ohio State football team lost 15 starters from last year's national championship team, including the entire defensive line. That means that they are going to have a lot of guys who are going to have to step up and fill the void left by those incredible players.
This season represents put-up-or-shut-up time for one particular player along the defensive line. That player is defensive tackle Tywone Malone. Malone has done next to nothing in his collegiate career that spans two different schools, and now he's in his senior year.
Malone transferred in from Ole Miss a couple of years ago, hoping to make an impact up front.
