BOTTOM LINE:
Ohio State has the best defense in the nation and a complementary offense that features an outstanding passing attack. The Buckeyes’ defense is ranked #1 and the offense ranks #24 in the nation.
A team with not too many holes. One area of concern for the Ohio State is their pass defense. If Carson Beck is on, it could be a long day for the Buckeyes.
In total though, the Ohio State Buckeyes are an elite college team and very dangerous.
GO CANES!
