“I would say in the Big Ten, you’re going to have four or five games (in a season) maybe where you’re going to have to play high-level competition and really have to be at your highest point. So that’s a difference,” Downs said after speaking on the SEC's level of play. “But then again, I said that when I first got to Ohio State and then a lot of the teams that were in the Big Ten, when it came to bowl games, ended up beating the SEC teams (last season). So I feel like that kind of negated what I said.”

Thanks, Alabama, the pipeline of talent.

Well earned. He's an elite talent who also happens to be as smart or smarter than everyone else.

...

Really?

The guy with 52 tackles, 1 PD, and 2 INTs is your Defensive Back and Defensive POY?

What kind of horrid offenses are in the B1G that your best defensive back has such mundane numbers?

Zeke Berry runs circles around him.

Poor Caleb... stock dropping after leaving Alabama. Had over 100 tackles here, now gets to watch Bray Hubbard on TV to see what a real beast in the secondary looks like.

Does he have any eligibility left? We need to replace Caleb soon.

Bray's already on record stating that he doesn't believe in taking easy schedules.

Plus, he now has his postseason free.

Our schedule does suck.

He is talented and a good listener. Coach, Guerrieri, and Knowles had to correct some flaws he had picked up. It has been great having him at Ohio State.
