See where Joel Klatt ranks Ohio State after a blowout win over Toledo
Each week, we like to check in with Fox analyst Joel Klatt to see where he has Ohio State ranked in his top 10.
Yesterday saw the Buckeyes put on a laser light show of offense, scoring at will in spectacular fashion. The amazing catches, precision passes, shifty moves, and brute strength left fans in awe. The weapons on this team and the variety of ways the Bucks can score are endless.
The defense, on the other hand, continues to look better than last year, but still has room to grow. Over pursuing a mobile quarterback and out-of-position cornerbacks gave up too many big plays for a team that has its sites set on a national championship.
What did Klatt think? Did he penalize the Buckeyes for a less-than-stellar defensive performance? Or was the offensive enough to keep OSU close to the top? Here’s Joel Klatt’s top 10 after week 3.
