What Hidden Defensive Weapon Could Make Ohio State Unstoppable Against Notre Dame?
There is no great mystery about where that pressure comes from. The Buckeyes have pass rushers who win. Edges Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau have combined for a whopping 99 pressures and 31 adjusted sacks, coming in first and second in the Big Ten in the latter stat. (Tuimoloau’s 16 adjusted sacks lead everyone; Sawyer is next at 15.)

Sawyer’s 25.8% pressure rate is fifth in the country among edge defenders with at least 100 pass rushing snaps, and his six tipped passes at the line lead all of FBS.
