Get more wins with contested balls through the air
We’re still waiting for Ohio State to show that the pass defense is going to be much better this season. After rewatching the game film, things weren’t as bad on the back-end as they felt during the game, but it can still be a lot better.
Oregon may be forced to do the bulk of its work through the air in this one, and if so, the DBs have to be able to stay away from handsy defending, limit penalties, and go up and make plays more often than not on some of those 50/50 balls through the air.
