PJ Fleck said it’s the best defense he’s faced in 13 years in the Big Ten*
 Previous Message the drop from Ohio State's defense to #2 Oklahoma is as great as the drop from Oklahoma to #24 Miami. This OSU defense is historically good. I don't know that we will hit 17 in this one. Previous Message Offense held steady at 21 but defense dropped to 64th. if i counted correctly, that's the 14/18 defense in the conference. USC, Rutgers, PU, and UCLA are ranked below us. MD surprisingly high at 16th. WI and UW are ranked 40 and 51, which is pretty manageable. Previous Message
Laughery back? Less bending by defense please and stout 3rd downs or more press. Didn't see many weaknesses of osu last 3 quarters as they throttled minny.
