Ohio State’s secondary shines

The Buckeye’s secondary may be the happiest players in Ohio State’s locker room for the return of Chase Young. He effects the quarterback on every drop-back just by his presence on the field.

With NFL level talent at every position in the secondary, Jeff Okudah, Shaun Wade, Damon Arnette and Jordan Fuller are going to want to play their best in what most likely will be their last game at the Shoe.

With Young wrecking havoc in the backfield, and with elite players in the Buckeyes’ secondary, quarterback Sean Clifford is going to throw for only 150 yards and will be picked off twice in this game. A shutdown performance by a shutdown secondary.

Next: Ryan Day proves to be elite.
