The Ohio State Defense has been really good lately. So says Phil Steele:
Ohio St scoring defense has been dominant over the past 5 years allowing just 13.4 ppg which is more than 1 ppg lower than #2 Virginia Tech. TCU has always fielded good defenses under HC Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs have given up just 14.74 ppg the last 5 years. USC thanks to allowing just 9.0 ppg in 2008 (lowest since Auburn in 1988!) was #6 allowing just 16.56 ppg.
Statistics make me happy.
Especially statistics like this. It seemed like OSU has been consistently good the past five years; the yrly averages didn’t seem to vary all that much from year to year.
