Ohio State’s defense is the best in the nation, and they show why every game. They’re not perfect. Ohio State didn’t have a particular player stand out on the stat sheet this week. They couldn’t record a single sack against Purdue, and that’s troubling, if you ignore the rest of what they did as a team.
The best scoring defense in the nation was allowing only 6.9 points per game, and gave up ten. That does move their average up to 7.2 points per game, but it is still the best in the nation. Their top-ranked total defense allows only 214.
