The Buckeye Defense is in for a Tough, Physical Evening This Thursday Night

For nine months, I've been looking forward to seeing what Kerry Coombs might do with a defense of his own. We've heard about the 4-2-5 personnel, the debut of the Bullet position, and the expectation of a diversified pass defense.

Now, however, just days away from the Buckeyes' first game of the 2021 season, it's readily apparent that all of those expectations should be put on hold for at least another week.

Coombs and co. are counting down the hours before they board a plane to the Twin Cities, wherein they'll face off with one of the biggest and most physical offenses in the country.
