Ohio State defensive player-by-player PFF grades for Western Kentucky game

How did PFF grade each player’s performance on defense for the Western Kentucky game? #GoBucks

Excitement around the Ohio State fanbase is at a high as the Buckeyes just put together a dominant performance on both sides of the ball in a 63-10 win over Western Kentucky and will head to South Bend to play Notre Dame on Saturday.

The Buckeyes defense came into the Western Kentucky with just 10 points allowed in the first two games. This was considered a good test for the unit as the Hilltoppers have had good offenses in each of the past two seasons and scored 93 points in their first two games.

The defense certainly passed this test holding Western Kentucky to just 10 points and scoring two defensive touchdowns. Going further, we break down each defensive position group’s performance using Pro Football Focus grades for each player. While PFF grades aren’t the end all be all, it is a great tool to break down individual players’ performance.
