3. Defensive line won’t skip a beat in 2018

If you don’t like scary movies, you’re definitely not going to like watching Ohio State’s defensive line in 2018. The loaded front of the Buckeyes is going to strike fear into opponents week in and week out and it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise seeing as Urban Meyer has developed plenty of NFL linemen.

Despite losing some players to the NFL, the Buckeyes will have a monster front, led by the aforementioned Chase Young, Nick Bosa, Dre’Mont Jones, Robert Landers and a host of other strong contributors up front.

Young is going to have a breakout season for the Buckeyes, Bosa is coming off a strong season in which he was named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year and Jones and Landers combined for 10 tackles for loss last season and are ready for bigger roles.

This unit is only getting stronger as the offseason wears on. Expect Bosa and Young to be the best defensive end tandem in college football — rivaling Clemson.
