The Ohio State defense wasn't perfect, but they took a major step forward in their 31-14 win over Iowa. Just a week earlier, they gave up nearly 200 yards rushing, and more than 400 total yards against Illinois, so when DE Kenyatta Jackson forced a strip sack on the first possesion of the game, it was a big start.
Alabama transfer DE Qua Russaw finished the game with 5 tackles, 1.5 TFL and a sack, in a breakout performance of his own.
Following the game, Jackson and Russaw met with the media to recap the game, the defense's performance, and what it could mean moving forward.
