While Ohio State’s Greg Schiano might be considered one of the best defensive coordinators in college football and one of the top candidates for a head coaching job this offseason, he was out-coached by a first-year offensive coordinator on Saturday.
Three days after the Buckeyes’ 55-24 loss to Iowa, in which Ohio State gave up 487 total yards and more points than it had allowed in any game since 1994, Schiano didn’t shy away from pointing the finger of blame at himself for the Buckeyes’ defensive struggles. Schiano also praised the Hawkeyes, whose offense in its first year being orchestrated by Brian Ferentz, for putting together a game plan that outsmarted he and his fellow coaches.
