They weren’t perfect, but you can’t put Ohio State’s 13-10 loss to IU on their defense. Jim Tressel used to ask his offense to get him at least 21 and his defense to allow no more than 14. Ohio State hasn’t allowed more than 13 in a loss or more than three touchdowns overall since October 12th, 2024.
Some guys struggled, particularly in pass coverage and run containment. But others thrived in rushing the passer like Caden Curry. The native of Indiana went off in Nap Town. Curry had seven tackles, three for a loss, two sacks, and a pass deflected at the line of scrimmage.
