OUT: •Coombs •Washington •Studrawa •Barnes IN: •Knowles •Eliano •Walton •Frye
Coombs was Ohio State's defensive coordinator in title only after the Buckeyes' Week 2 loss to Oregon, which marked the third straight game dating back to last year's national championship loss in which the Buckeye defense had given up at least 31 points to its opponent.
The Buckeye defense appeared to make improvements after the switch, which also saw Ohio State transition into more of a 4-2-5 base alignment, as the group gave up just 15.9 points per game from Game 3 through Game 11. But defensive struggles doomed Ohio State in a 42-27 loss to Michigan in the regular season finale, and the Buckeyes gave up 45 points to Utah in a Rose Bowl win to close out the season.
