Practice Report: Where Buckeyes can improve on both sides of ball during off week
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has set and stated goals for the only off week of the regular season.
The Buckeyes are rolling on offense and defense right now. Pressing pause on that momentum could be dangerous. But it’s also a great week for this football team to be well-rested and recovered halfway through the schedule — ahead of a national championship push.
To attain those lofty goals, the Buckeyes must rest and recover — and get healthier — during the next week of preparation for the second half of the season. But there are still certain areas Ohio State needs to be better at, especially in the back end of the defense and, arguably, on special teams.
Spencer Holbrook and Tim May were back outside the Horseshoe on Thursday morning, breaking down how the Buckeyes are turning their focus to Iowa after the off week in the latest Practice Report.
The Lettermen Row crew is back for a full report on what it learned.
