Hell, look at the secondaries we've played against.
I know they have problems, but on the whole, their team matches up very well against ours. Very very well in fact.
it was the O-line and Book's lack of recognition of what the Defense was doing.
And who do you think has a better DL and LB group, Pitt or OSU?
I was just responding to the prior post that suggested that OSU has secondary issues.
Yes, they do, but their defense is world's better than Pitt, as is their secondary, and I assure you, they would play us the same way Pitt did, with press coverage and daring us to beat them over the top, even without Bosa. Moreover, they are getting a bunch of previously injured players on D back this week (except Bosa, who is done and heading to the NFL).
We agree re: OSU. We also haven't played a QB anywhere near Haskins' level this year.
