If Ohio State's defense is going to take the next step toward greatness, it's a solid bet Tommy Eichenberg will be a driving force in accomplishing the goal.
Optimism is running high after defensive coordinator Jim Knowles improved Ohio State's 2022 defense in nearly every statistical category versus the previous season, despite the Buckeyes giving up what felt like a million points in back-to-back losses to Michigan and Georgia.- that doomed the 2022 Buckeyes from reaching their goals of winning the Big Ten and capturing a national title but the campaign wasn't without improvement.
Though the entire defense needed to learn Knowles' new system, Eichenberg seemed to know it inside and out right from the jump as his football IQ, discipline and quickness to the hole produced a team-high 120 tackles, good for the most by a Buckeye in a single-season since Joshua Perry's 124 in 2014.
All this after a modest four starts in 2021 though he went out like a lion racking up an Ohio State Rose Bowl record 17 stops in the thrilling come-from-behind win over Utah. Highlights prior to his injuries including 14 stops versus Wisconsin, 15 versus Penn State and 13 the following week at Northwestern.
The rest of the secondary should benefit from a more impactful defensive line not to mention having a full year of Knowles's system under their belt. Those two factors seem destined to help the Buckeyes limit the explosive plays that killed them in those two losses to end the season.
