• OSU lost just one returning starter on defense – cornerback A.J. Green to the Cleveland Browns – but defensive coordinator Jim Knowles feels great about the replacement options.

…Knowles no longer faces the perilous question of how to replace Green. Instead, Knowles is choosing between two good options.

“A.J. is a significant loss,” Knowles said. “But to be able to replace him with a guy ( Jarrick Bernard-Converse) who has two years worth of starts and bring in a transfer (Christian Holmes) who is everything you could ever want in a kid in terms of his ability and his focus and his wanting to be a part of the team — I feel great about the position.
