The Ohio State football program will have a new defensive coordinator calling plays this weekend. Matt Patricia will call plays in college for the first time ever. This is the first time in almost a decade that he is a defensive coordinator period, so there are a lot of unknowns heading into Saturday.
That doesn't mean that the Buckeyes don't feel confident with Patricia calling the plays. Even though Jim Knowles is no longer with the program after helping the Ohio State Buckeyes win a national championship, they still believe in what Patricia is able to do.
