Joel Klatt is a college football analyst for Fox, but he could become a full-time fan for Ohio State if he wanted to. Klatt spoke on his podcast on FOX, "The Joel Klatt Show," and this time it was all about Ohio State's defense and just how elite it is.
The biggest thing he touched on was the linebacker play from Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, going so far as to say they are the best linebacker duo in the country. To be fair, Klatt isn't really wrong, but it seems like he is fan-girling not just over Reese and Styles, but over the entire Ohio State defense.
Klatt went even further into how elite this defense is, but at one point, he was literally laughing at the fact of how good Ohio State's defense is, which fans can definitely relate to, especially when the media tries to say otherwise.
Joel Klatt can't get over how elite Ohio State's defense is
"The combination of Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese is, hands-down, the best combination of linebacker play in America."

It is clear that Ohio State has the best defense in the nation. According to ESPN, they have the best defense; according to NCAA stats, they have the best defense, and according to Fox Sports, they have the best defense. If anyone needs any more proof, there are many other outlets that think the same way as these three.
Klatt, though, shared even more about Ohio State's defense, including the fact that the Buckeyes are allowing an average of 7.5 points per game through 10 games, and that comes out to eight touchdowns allowed in 10 games.
"It is stupid how good they are," Klatt says while laughing. "I mean it really is."
Some commentators during other games try to talk about how other linebackers are better than Reese and Styles, or other defenses are better, and Klat flat-out said it means they haven't watched Ohio State football, then.
