Our defensive line played better today than I think I've seen in years. This is my 20th season as an Ohio Bobcat, and the most common refrain I think I've heard over those years... other than, maybe, that our offense "lacked creativity" — and that's only in the post-Grobe era — is that our defensive line has always failed to put pressure on the opposing backfield. Today, I saw our guys back there almost every play. It was incredible to see them getting past SEC offensive linemen.
If they can manage to do what they did today against the MAC schedule, I don't see how anyone can stop us. (That's asking a lot, but...)

The defensive line is not only good, it's deep. Sayles, Strobel, Porter, Aloese, and Berger plug up the middle, while Basham, Laseak, Smart, and Robbins man the ends. I'm not sure where Chukwu is playing, but he's in the mix, too.
