COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — There were a lot of questions about the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes. One area where there were no doubts, however, was the defensive line.
Built around the relentless pass rush of John Simon and Johnathan Hankins with several ferocious freshmen eager to get time, the unit was a cornerstone of Urban Meyer’s first year on the sidelines.
So far, through two victories, the line has been all but invisible. Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller has been sacked more times than the Ohio State D-line has brought down an opposing signal-caller.
Now Meyer has called out the front wall to do more than what it has done so far, starting with Saturday’s game against California.
