4. Secondary is a ‘No Fly Zone’

Besides the first quarter against the Beavers in Week 1 Ohio State’s secondary has played as one of the best in the country.

While they are very talented each year there always seems to be a dozen or so plays during the season that make you scratch your head. So far the secondary has been as good as advertised for the Buckeyes.

They are giving up only 130 Yards per game through the air. A very tough matchup against a Top 15 opponent in TCU should have Ohio State fans a little worried but I’m sure they won’t be.

TCU has not thrown the ball very well this season and it showed in their victory against SMU.

They couldn’t move the ball downfield consistently and Coach Patterson will need to stick to the ground game in order for the horn frogs to stay in this matter.

I expect the secondary to shut down the TCU passing attack and make their offense one dimensional for most of the game.
