Even with Josh Proctor on the field, Ohio State had major defensive maladies. Now without its starting free safety for the rest of the season, the wounds only fester that much more.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said all options are on the table for retooling the rotation at safety in Proctor’s absence, including the prospect of switching certain defensive backs into the role from another position.
“We’re looking at all that to try to make some adjustments. Losing Josh for the whole year kind of changes some things,” Day said at Tuesday’s press conference. “Bryson (Shaw)’s had some good snaps in there, but we’re gonna have to look at what gives us the best chance moving forward.
