Show Notes
Ohio State ultimately won the IlliBuck by a comfortable margin in the Big Ten opener on Saturday at the Horseshoe, but the defensive effort certainly left room for improvement. Former Buckeyes captain Zach Boren takes a closer look at where the breakdowns occurred, what solutions might be available for coordinator Matt Patricia and assesses the level of concern heading into the gauntlet of conference action ahead for the program. It’s a Boren Blitz on The Beat to kick off Iowa Week for Ohio State.
