As he’s picked up on Ohio State’s scheme through spring practice and fall camp, Davison Igbinosun’s confidence has grown in anticipation of a major defensive role this year. https://t.co/QGQBZq3Ays

Knowles: "Davison has been one of the best cover guys in camp."

 

• Igbinosun said he was “nervous” after he was called for targeting on Ohio State’s first defensive possession. Igbinosun mentioned that he “started praying” the call would be reversed, and after the replay review, the penalty was overturned.
• On his performance against Indiana: “I thought I played OK. … I gave up a couple of tackles. I don’t want to give up any tackles.” Igbinosun said he was a little too physical with Indiana’s receivers, which led to a pass interference call that extended a drive for the Hoosiers in the season opener.
• On how he will handle balancing physical play with technical play: “Now that I know (pass interferences and flags) have occurred, I will probably start running with the receivers' (in their) routes rather than being overly physical.”
• Igbinosun said Ohio State’s defensive performance wasn’t surprising: “It all started in practice. … It translated to the first game of the season.”
• Igbinosun said Ohio State’s cornerbacks are still working to earn the moniker of BIA. However, he thinks the Buckeyes’ defense has earned the nickname of the “Silver Bullets.” He said: “I personally feel like the Silver Bullets are back.”
• Igbinosun said Ohio State’s defensive line is the favorite part of the Buckeyes’ defense. He said Ohio State’s defensive ends and defensive tackles made life easier for Ohio State’s cornerbacks and safeties against Indiana with the way they got after the quarterback and caused disruption in the backfield.

 

Jim Knowles said that the coaching staff won't hold Davison Igbinosun's physicality back after he was flagged for pass interference, rather refining it with technique. https://t.co/BwpzrdtAUJ
