Ohio State’s defensive identity this season starts at the edges of the defense. The Buckeyes’ corner room has quietly become one of the deepest, most reliable units in the country.

By the Numbers: Key facts and figures to know ahead of Ohio State vs. Penn State
The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons.
