Noah Ruggles should have been placed in this situation. The fault for the loss falls upon Ryan Day, Jim Knowles and the defense. In the fourth quarter, the defense disappeared for the second straight game and could not hold the lead. Then, with 1st and 10 at the 33, Day makes some bad calls. 
Great job throughout your career at OSU, Noah!

Special teams play is lackluster and has been so all season. They are typically good at preventing the other team from returning kickoffs and punts for long returns. However, no returns for TDs on the Buckeye side and this team rarely tries to block a punt. 
On the Parking Fleming hire, Ryan Dyan did not follow the Woody Hayes philosophy “ You win with people.” Fleming was the easy hire, rather than the best hire. 
Meanwhile, OSU has two to its rival. Part of the reason is that Booger Jim is getting much assistance from his brother in bringing in assistants from the NFL.

Landing some top notch cornerbacks should be a top priority. The secondary practically won the SCUM game in 2016 for the Buckeyes. After those guys went to the NFL, the recruiting of secondary talent became lackluster. We are seeing wide receivers left wide open on a regular basis( they even left a Toledo receiver wide open), too many pass interference penalties, and missed tackles. 
The story mentions Jim Knowles recruiting a linebacker. So far, we cannot include him as a stellar recruiter. It seems that the Buckeyes have only two great recruiters on staff: Hartline and Day.

Guys these days quit too easily and don’t like competition. I know that he received a lot of criticism from the TTUN game,  but he was not the cause of losing the game. OSU’s defense quitting  in the 4th quarter cost the Buckeyes the game. 
The grass is not always greener elsewhere. Some portal transfer guys have found this to be true.

Maurice Clarett is correct. The defense just quit in the fourth quarter again. The pass defense is horrid and JTT, Sawyer and Hall went MIA when they needed to step up. Is the defensive line poorly conditioned? The secondary stinks. The play of the secondary is on Knowles, Eliano and Walton. They need to get their asses out there and get some cornerbacks from the portal.

One more year of this shit show from the secondary should be cause for Knowles, Eliano and Walton need  to be canned.

Iowa has a better defense despite vastly inferior talent. There’s no excuse for Ohio State not being able to hold a double digit lead with eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The $2.1 million paid to Jim Knowles has been a waste.
