Ohio State will be hoping that Jim Knowles can solve all of the defensive problems from last year. The Buckeyes allowed 246.9 passing yards per game last season, which ranked 12th in the B1G.
Depth could have also been part of the problem last season. DC Jim Knowles is feeling really good about how much talent the Buckeyes have at CB this year. It looks like the CB room in Columbus is almost completely healed as well, according to Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors.

Knowles said the Buckeyes “almost had our full complement” available at cornerback today, so he’s feeling better about the depth at that position.
