I'm not sure OU's defense is as terrible as everyone thinks.

They've had some bad games, for sure, but they're just as capable of having good ones. Ohio State is a perfect example. They slowed down OSU's run game and didn't allow any big plays - similar to how we were able to stop Notre Dame.

I feel like their defense is going to come into this game with something to prove after hearing the media talk all season about how much their defense sucks.

Montgomery from ISU gave them a hard time and he is no where near as talented as any of our RB’s. I just can’t see them stopping our running game. Wims should have a big game as well.

But Ohio State's run game is nothing like ours, imo. JT Barrett is a talented and big dude but, really, he's not a rb. It's much easier to spy Barrett on all downs than it is to defend a true power rushing game like the Dawgs have.

That said, I agree that their defense is likely not near as bad as we've been hearing. Seems most of their troubles over the season have been with tackling at the second level, not so much rushing defense.

I hope we run a lot of screens to get our playmakers in space against that questionable tackling.
