Ohio State Defensive Line Must Continue to Improve This Summer Ahead of 2016 Season

Urban Meyer talks often about those players that contributed to the defensive line on the team that won him his first national title at Ohio State.

"When we won the national championship, the defensive line played as well as any team in America," Meyer said Saturday after the spring game. "And a good chunk of those guys are gone."

Joey Bosa, Adolphus Washington, Mike Bennett, Rashad Frazier, Steve Miller, Tommy Schutt — all names that left the program either after 2014 or this past season. Each thrived against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon for Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson in the 2014 post-season.
