I’m guessing the #2 and #3 rushers were also quarterbacks. Happens when your best rushing play is a broken pass play.

yikes!
QB throwing into to triple coverage right to the DB who is standing underneath the receiver. Easy pick, turned to a pick 6 made even easier because it was thrown behind the receiver.
This ball was thrown to a spot that only the defender had an opportunity to make a play on it.
At the :21, :22 mark you can see the pick and then about :25 the qb in the green jersey comes into the play.
I like EJs future a lot. It seems he just keeps elevating his game. His ceiling is high IMO
The spirit of competition is infectious with this squad. Love to see them getting after it
Love Hatzog but he's always gonna be 5'8-5'9. Even when he's where he needs to be sometimes his height will limit him. I actually think he's tough enough to play some safety for us and would probably fit well there. If I'm being honest upside wise I'm hoping Hill beats him out. That length with long arms makes it hard on WRs and QBs.

I wanna see a bit more from him. I'm not sure how high his ceiling is. From watching him last year I'd say he has a high floor for sure. Not sure about his ceiling tho.

Yeah, we’ll see. A more credible passing game will take pressure off our lineman at the point of attack and hopefully benefit our backs
They like Malcom at Safety and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Blye join Tommi for a Hill duo at CB, with Giff at Rover and a mix of older Buford, Hartzog, and Singleton at Safety. Solid group, with only Blye lacking game experience in this defense.
That would be a tall Hill"s for the WR's to climb. 🤡
Yeah I think that would be a good mix. I think Singelton may be a bit under valued. Before he got hurt he may have been on the verge of becoming our best DB. That dude flashed. He looked like a Sunday player.
After he was hurt though I think Gifford elevated his game to another level. If we can get Singelton back at full speed to go with Gifford and Marques Buford filling that other S spot man we could be stout. I don't think Hartzog will beat out any of those guys BUT he could be super solid depth and is probably smart enough to play any position on the back end. That is invaluable for a team that plays a lot of players.
Can't wait to put eyes on Blye. Man we will be a long athletic back end if that guy can take over and start. Let's not forget guys like Nation, baby Buford, Tarver, and company are all gonna be competing hard as well. I love our back end guys on this defense.

An Ohio State running back will be entering the portal after spring practice.
They know where they’re going with the ball in those drills. I would like to see their arm cocked and them delivering the ball when they hit their plant foot. That receiver shouldn’t have to wait for the ball when they make their cut
Both of the true frosh QB's are going to be thrown into the deep end of the pool. Mistakes will be made. Lessons will be learned. Sink or swim.

There's a position group that so far this Spring has been on a milk carton, FULLBACKS. Maybe the media coverage has missed it but I will be sorely disappointed if the FBs are not an appropriate part of the offense this season.
