Ohio State's defense flexed its depth and physicality in the 37-9 win over Ohio, turning in another strong performance in front of the Shoe. In this Daily Buckeye Blitz, we hand out grades across the board.

Here's what stood out:

• Caden Curry set the tone up front, while Kayden McDonald plugged the middle. Jarquez Carter continues flashing in his snaps.

• Ohio managed only 9 points and never found rhythm — proof this unit has the talent and depth to be one of the nation's best.

💥 It wasn't perfect — a missed tackle and penalties to clean up — but the Silver Bullets made a statement: this defense is ready for Big Ten play.
