Tanner McCalister showed why Ohio State brought him in as a transfer and JK Johnson and Jyaire Brown rose to the occasion to lead a banged-up secondary in the win over Wisconsin.
“That was a tough play,” McCalister said after the game. “Not to get into coverage detail, but basically, my job was to protect anything deep from the hash to sideline. So there was multiple guys running, so I'm trying to take multiple guys and I saw the throw late, speed turned and luckily I got that ball out. That was a tough play to make, but I'm glad I was able to make it, for sure.”
Proctor also had a big game in his return to the lineup against Wisconsin, recording six tackles and a pass breakup while playing nearly the entire game at bandit instead of subbing out for Lathan Ransom as he did in his first two starts of the season. “I usually don't talk about that stuff after the game. But yeah, I obviously didn't like what I saw, and I felt like that was a big play,” Day said. “But I also wanted Jyaire to know that like, I do have your back. Now if it was egregious, okay, move on. But I wanted to defend him in that moment.
Middle linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, who led Ohio State’s defense with 14 tackles against Wisconsin, said he didn’t feel like he had to do anything differently to compensate for the inexperienced cornerbacks. “He's a cornerback that’s not afraid to go against the best,” McCalister said. You see it in practice. Marvin Harrison, Jaxon , , we got really good receivers and he’s not afraid to step out there even though he's a freshman. He's like, ‘I want Marvin.’ So when you see some things like that early on, he's very confident. I think that's why the coaches like him, that's why we like him.
