A few things from tonight’s post-practice interviews that I thought you all would find interesting:
Mike Hall drew comparisons to Aaron Donald:
Zach Harrison and J.T. Tuimoloau (with a cameo from Cameron Brown) talk about Ohio State defensive tackle Mike Hall after his breakout game vs. Notre Dame.

Tuimoloau and Brown each separately compared him to Aaron Donald.
Harrison: Hes got explosion like wide receivers, DBs. pic.twitter.com/cC4YEfXTe3
Matt Jones revealed he had a 102-degree fever on Friday night, but played through it (though that was why Enokk Vimahi took his place in the lineup for a few plays on the final touchdown drive):

And Griffin got videos of each of Ohio State’s three injury-plagued wide receivers – Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Julian Fleming and Kamryn Babb – walking off the practice field. All of them were in uniform for Wednesday’s practice, and Smith-Njigba and Babb were both seen catching passes from the JUGS machine after practice was over.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba seems to be moving gingerly on his injured leg coming off the practice field at OSU, but is wearing full pads.
