Defense
Grade: B+
I have been critical of this defense all year but they responded in some areas while continuing to show issues in others. The pass defense is one of the best in the country, no doubt about it. The linebackers and defensive line though continues to struggle getting to the quarterback and allowing running backs to go off on them. Next week they play two of the best running backs in the Big Ten, last time they did that they gave up almost 400 yards. They have to tighten things up in the run game for Ohio State or we will have a repeat of the Michigan game.
