Ryan Day set the bar for Ohio State’s defensive performance last month, but Jim Knowles is aiming even higher than the Buckeye head coach.
Perhaps Ryan Day isn’t thinking big enough when it comes to what his defense may be capable of this season.
Knowles is no stranger to a top-five defensive unit. At Oklahoma State last season, the Knowles-led Cowboy defense ranked fourth-best in the country with an average of only 297.9 total yards allowed per game. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes came in 55 spots lower to finish the year with the 59th-best total defense in college football.
Knowles’ track record for dramatically improving defenses is well-documented in his previous stops at Duke and Oklahoma State. But in both instances, the turnaround required multiple years. Knowles doesn’t have that luxury at Ohio State, which means his complex scheme must be installed even faster. “Early on, yeah, it took me some time to get to where we're at Oklahoma State. We got here, and past here, where we're at,” Knowles said. “But we got to this point at the Ohio State much faster than we did at Oklahoma State. … Nothing is easy. But I just feel like it's just more accelerated. It's like driving 75 or driving 90. You're just going faster, and it's fun. That's for sure.
