C.J. Stroud hasn’t been quite as dialed in the past two weeks but Michigan State’s awful pass defense, even without JSN, could mean Stroud blows up. What kind of day do you envision for Stroud and Ohio State’s passing game?Although the first hostile environment of the season for Stroud and several of his first-year starting wideuts could lead to some out-of-sync play in the passing game, Michigan State’s track record defending the pass has been dreadful in the Mel Tucker era.
Add to that the reality that Sparty’s defensive backfield is… well, terrible, to put a point on it, and I expect Ohio State’s wide receivers to feast as much as they have at any point this season. Stroud could easily turn this into a 300-yard day, but I don’t honestly expect him to be on the field long enough to get there.Despite the consternation over cornerback Denzel Burke’s struggles along with a host of injuries in the secondary, OSU sits No. 7 in pass defense and No.
This is Jim Knowles' first season in Columbus, and fans should take some solace in what he has demonstrably improved within the Buckeye defense so far. As for determining if those strides are enough to power Ohio State towards its postseason aspirations, that will likely remain unknown until a worthy opponent's passing game presents itself.
