A once-stellar OSU defense is now statistically one of the worst in the country, especially after its 37-16 loss to Kansas on Saturday. Here are some key numbers from Saturday’s game and beyond.
351: Rushing yards OSU allowed
The defense as a whole has been struggling, but the rush defense in particular has been bad. This was the first time OSU has given up 300+ yards in a game since 2018 Bedlam. With the 351 rush yards given up, OSU currently ranks No. 100 in FBS in rushing yards allowed per game, giving up 174.
