One of eight FBS teams yet to tally a takeaway, Ohio State is “itching for some turnovers.” But Jim Knowles is confident they’ll come “as guys get more comfortable in the system.'
Of course, two of the teams in that category are top-three programs in the country, and Ohio State’s lack of turnovers hasn’t resulted in any shortage of success so far.
In the run game, the Buckeyes are allowing just two yards per carry to opponents, and its overall rush defense ranks 11th in the nation. Limiting points and stopping the run were key points of emphasis for Ohio State after last season’s shortcomings, and early in 2022, they’ve both been addressed.Film Study: Jim Knowles’ Aggressive Approach Has Paid Off Thus Far for the Ohio State Defense
Knowles cited one stretch in his 2012 season as defensive coordinator at Duke to illustrate that very point. Matching up with Florida State and Clemson in back-to-back games, Knowles and company forced eight total turnovers while Duke didn’t cough the ball up once. But the Blue Devils gave up a combined 104 points and 1,278 yards of offense in those contests and didn’t come close to sniffing a win.
“The thing about defense is it's a right now proposition. Either you stop them or you don't, that's the way I look at it. Taking the ball away is one way, one way to stop them,” Knowles said. “Getting off the field on third down is another way to stop them. Then sometimes the ball ends up in the red zone. Either we did it to ourselves, or sometimes it just gets there through other ways, it doesn't matter.
