Ryan Day Wants More Pressure from Ohio State's Defensive Line

Through three games, there's a lot wrong with Ohio State's defense.

Thee group ranks No. 118 nationally in total defense giving up 471.3 yards per game, No. 117 in passing defense yielding 289.7 yards per game, No. 126 in third down conversion percentage allowed (53.2%) and No. 92 in scoring defense allowing 28.7 points per game.

With those results, it's impossible to blame any one facet. Fact is, there's plenty of blame to go around and Ryan Day took a major step in trying to address the concerns by effectively stripping defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs of his playcalling duties after week two.
