Oh, I agree. I thought the defense needed a confidence boost and once they made a few plays, they started flying around. Just not impressed with Michigan at all. Looks like the same team up there. Ohio State needs to focus on themselves and worry about Rutgers.
It’s Akron and we played a lot better tonight. I’ll take it. Build off this win and continue to improve and gain the confidence.
I’m with you. My comment was that I would have been nervous to play them now. But I do feel better after seeing how the defense is responding to Barnes. We are finding our playmakers. Ohio State could be a very dangerous team come November.
