Ohio State's defense has major questions to answer after another debacle
The Buckeye defense was abhorrent against the Ducks.
It was an ugly out for the defense. The numbers don’t tell the whole story, but they do tell a part of it. Ohio State came into the game allowing 95.8 yards on the ground. Oregon got 108, and OSU’s average is up to 97.1, which is 15th best in the nation.
The passing defense had been allowing only 177.8 yards per game and gave up 287 to the Ducks. That pushed Ohio State’s season total to 189.9 per game, 35th in the FBS. Their total yards allowed were only 272.3 per game, and Oregon put up over 120 over that average with 395 yards.
