The Ohio State secondary cost the Buckeyes dearly against Michigan, giving up three passing TDs of at least 45 yards and setting up another score with a DPI in the end zone.
45-23 win for the Wolverines
The Buckeye secondary didn’t just give up big plays. It had major miscues, breakdowns and blunders that left pass catchers without a defender within five yards of them on multiple occasions, resulting in game-wrecking plays and momentum-shifting moments all too often. “It was just disheartening. Obviously, I have to take the blame for that,” defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said after the game. “Surely, you know, just got to do a better job. It’s a story of explosive plays. I thought we matched well, and nothing was lost like that. We matched through the course of the game, but too many explosives. And that’s what is disheartening, you know, for not just the defense, but the team, the fans, and I have to take responsibility for that.
“I thought he did a good job of making some throws under pressure, but we knew he could throw the ball,” Knowles said. “I thought he played well when he had to.”
