The Buckeyes were hopeful additional practice reps would benefit their cornerbacks, who have been banged up during an up-and-down start to the season.
In Day’s view, a lot of the passes they have surrendered were not owed to poor coverage. Defenders were in position alongside receivers. Only they missed breaking up the passes due to poor timing.
The Buckeyes have been banged up at cornerback, including among its starters. Denzel Burke missed the Big Ten opener. Cameron Brown was also sidelined for two games with an undisclosed issue. “You just have to try to find a way to simulate the game and make it harder, make practice harder than the game so that when they get there, they're ready to make that play.”
The idle week could help with the status of Jordan Hancock, a redshirt freshman cornerback who has not appeared in a game due to an apparent leg injury suffered in preseason training camp.
