Through the first four games the Ohio State defense has played lights out. If this group of Silver Bullets continue to play at this level, they could be one of the best ever.
In my half-century of following Ohio State football I have had the good fortune of watching many great defenses. But since the game has changed it’s hard to compare units in different eras so I’ll just stick to looking at this year’s and great defenses in the 21st century.
The 2002 Buckeye defense was probably the most fun to watch.
Guys like Jay Richardson and Tim Anderson stuffing the middle, Will Smith and Simon Frazier coming off the edge.
