A : I believe the biggest factor against TCU this weekend is twofold defensively.
- The play of Ohio State linebackers in space. Some of the same concerns from last year carried over against Oregon State.
- The linebackers, although not at full strength, missed some assignments which allowed for contain to be broken and big plays to be the repercussion.
- Can the secondary step up and lockdown a very talented and athletic Shawn Robinson? For the first time in three years, Ohio State does not have a projected first round NFL Draft pick in their secondary leading the charge.
- We will get a grasp of just how stout this Silver Bullet unit is as they will be tested in many ways, unlike anything they have seen to this point.
