Film Study: Breaking Tendencies As the Buckeyes Entered Big Ten Play

While Chip Kelly unveiled wrinkle after wrinkle in his first three games as a coordinator in Columbus, Jim Knowles had kept things pretty vanilla defensively during that same stretch. However, as the Buckeyes opened Big Ten play last weekend in East Lansing, both coaches showed more of their playbooks in another Ohio State victory.

Here's what we go over in this week's video breakdown:

• Building off past run looks to move the ball on the ground
• What happened with Will Howard's terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad interception
• Inserting Caleb Downs into the run game thanks to Cover 3 Mable
• A fun, two-deep pressure package on third down
