Ohio State defense

You're right, it's much more than just not having Bosa.  Schiano is a hack, and needs to be replaced asap.  His obstinate refusal to stop sending both backers, on seemingly every play, directly led to 4 easy scores and even more critical 3rd down conversions last night.  But, the problems don't end with the defense.  The OL is looking and playing like garbage, they struggle to move anyone in the running game.  I don't blame the players, those OLmen were recruited to block in a RPO offense.  Now that they have a "pocket passer" in Haskins, they don't have the correct personnel up front to block in a traditional pro style offense.

Even more than those issues, this team has looked sloppy, undisciplined and unfocused in more games than not this season.  I hate to say it, but it may be time for 'ole Urbz to retire.  The team, overall, looked very sharp and motivated when Ryan Dey was leading them in Meyer's absence, the first 3 games of the year.
