This x100. Best tackling team I've seen this year, by far. Take out their legs and immobilize them; they are great at it.I've been impressed with OSU's defense in the games I have watched. Their defensive line is elite. The defensive backs are not just good at coverage but they tackle very well when it comes to stopping the run.
OSU o line against ND hurt d line is a bad matchup. And will make for a long day. ND big boy in the center of the d line is out for the season and sorely missed on the defenseI should have added in my earlier post that Notre Dame has a very good defense as well. Good defense always gives a team a chance. I think OSU's offensive line has been playing at a high level which may be the ultimate edge.
Let's be honest OSU penalties kept TX in the game.If ND plays like they did 60% of the PSU game they could set themselves up for getting boat raced.
ND is the walking wounded right now. Many hurt and playing hurt. They will need a flawless performance to win. OSU is a machine buy TX stayed in the game on them.
