Summary

On this Thursday Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means are looking back at Ohio State's defense vs. Georgia in their College Football Playoff semifinal. Was it better or worse than it seemed right after the game? First, (0:40) they talk about a defender lost and a defender added in the transfer portal. Then (13:15) they look at how the defensive line played and how often defensive coordinator Jim Knowles made aggressive play calls and how often he was more conservative. Lastly, (51:24) the big plays given by the Buckeyes are dissected to find which ones were great Georgia plays and which were issues with Ohio State. The next pod will do the same thing with the offense. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.
