The new coach of Rutgers football, Chris Ash, has been credited with turning the Ohio State defense around the past two seasons. Reviewing total defense rankings from the past three seasons, it is undeniable statistically. The season before Ash arrived to coach with the Buckeyes, their defense ranked 84th in the nation in 2013. Last season's national championship team saw their defense finish 29th in the nation in 2014. Although Ohio State failed to make the college football playoff this season, it was not because of their defense. Their total defense ranking actually improved to 7th in the nation in 2015.
