Very, very true. Much better to get exposed in certain areas against a team where you are vastly more talented than have it happen against another talented team.

It gives OSU something to work on in preparation for OU.

Yup.. we needed this game for sure. baker mayfield has a bigger skillset and more weapons. CANNOT wait for this game!

12 is Denzel Ward, he's supposed to be the next DB that lands in the 1st round of the draft. He's 5'10 maybe 5'11

I think a lot of the first half was them seeing if they could get away with running man press with these corners. I wish they would have went away from it sooner, things went a lot better when they eventually decided to change schemes

I think will come with time. I really think our corners are fast enough.. just a little lost right now.

Oh they are fast enough. They aren't strong enough to jam big 6'4/6'5 WRs at the line though.

Having to throw the ball within a second of the snap made a big difference in the game. It's great DL's that win games not DB's.

They definitely game planned for Ohio state's rushers with those quick timing routes. When Lagow had to hold onto the ball for just a couple seconds it didn't go so well for him.

Ha ha, please. Kansas would have a top ten defense in the B1G with the immense amount of shitty offenses in your conference. There is a reason B1G defenses were defacated on in bowl season once they stepped out of their conference.

No they wouldn't. IU played in a conference that had over half of their teams rank 80th to dead last in scoring offenses vastly inflating their defensive statistics.

That's tOSU, the only legit good team from the B1G every year. tOSU would do that to practically any team from any conference. The rest of the B1G would get ran out of town though. Once again, hence the reason B1G defenses were taken to the woodshed during bowl season.

Over half of the Big 12 teams would have top 25 defenses if they had to face the Pop Warner type of offenses from the B1G every week and that is a fact. Big 12 defenses gave up an average of 21.5 ppg in their bowl games last year. B1G defenses gave up 29.8 ppg in their bowl games. Grant it, the B1G played more bowl games than the Big 12, but it shows how Big 12 defenses are pretty stout when they are not facing a HUNH offense every Saturday.
LMFAO
