The offense edged out the defense in Saturday’s scrimmage as Ohio State’s quarterbacks started slow but improved as practice progressed while the defensive line impressed Ryan Day.
With the defense leading 100-99 in the modified scoring system, the scrimmage was to be decided by whether the defense could keep the offense out of the end zone on the final drive. The defense came close, with Jaden McKenzie putting heavy pressure on Kyle McCord to force a 3rd-and-long throwaway, but Jelani Thurman kept the game alive for the offense by narrowly crossing the line-to-gain on a fourth-down catch-and-run.
“I thought he had some good plays. Better in the second half, especially when we got that ball to midfield,” Day said when asked about McCord after practice. “Early on was just OK, I think. But again, it's hard to tell. We gotta look at the film. But he certainly flashed there at the end. Had some energy about him, had some leadership and I think the whole offense was feeding off of that.”
On the other end of the spectrum, there were plenty of encouraging moments from Ohio State’s defensive backs on Saturday. Denzel Burke was stout in coverage, breaking up multiple passes including one intended for Marvin Harrison Jr. in one-on-ones.
Standouts from the defensive line group on Saturday included redshirt freshman defensive end Kenyatta Jackson, who was credited with back-to-back sacks against Brown during one sequence in team drills.
