Which makes sense, but I think what makes this schedule so difficult is the games against very solid, underrated teams bunched in between all of these big-time matchups. This fact will always make them a dangerous tough out, especially if the Buckeyes find themselves overlooking them. Ryan Day was the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, so I guarantee he will be aware of this fact. A dynamic that will give this Ohio State defense some trouble, as we have seen that quarterbacks who are willing to use their legs can have success against a Matt Patricia defense, especially one that will not be as good as last year's historic defense. If Ohio State finds itself looking ahead to Michigan and decides to take its foot off the gas, there is a world where the Buckeyes leave Memorial Stadium sweating a little bit more than what they might deem as comfortable.
