Ohio State's defense held UNLV to under 100 yards passing on Saturday. That said, the Buckeye defense surrendered five first downs to the Rebels by way of penalty.
The Buckeyes were whistled for three pass interference calls and a defensive holding penalty in the secondary against UNLV. Three of those four penalties were called on Ohio State cornerback Kendall Sheffield, and head coach Urban Meyer was not pleased with amount of penalties his defensive backs committed.
"Very concerned, terrible. It's awful," Meyer said.
While the Buckeyes were whistled for interfering with the Rebels' receivers, Ohio State did collect a pair of interceptions.
