Ohio State Prepares for Nebraska Showdown

As the Ohio State Buckeyes approach the second half of their season, linebacker Cody Simon emphasizes the need for defensive improvement following a disappointing performance against Oregon, where they allowed 496 yards and 32 points. The Buckeyes are set to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who currently hold a 5-2 record and a strong defense ranked 18th nationally in total yards allowed. Ohio State's offense, ranked 6th in the nation, will challenge Nebraska's defensive prowess. Despite past struggles, Simon expresses confidence that the team can rebound and play to their potential in the upcoming games. Meanwhile, concerns linger about the Buckeyes' defensive line performance, which has underwhelmed compared to expectations, particularly in crucial moments against top offenses. The Buckeyes aim to correct these issues as they prepare for a pivotal matchup in Week 9 against Nebraska.
