Ross Fulton Analysis: How Illinois Used Tempo To Attack Matt Patricia's Ohio State Defense
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
Entering the Buckeyes' game at Illinois, Matt Patricia's defense was allowing fewer than six points per game, and had given up just two touchdowns total in five games.
Then, the Illini used an up-tempo offense to put up a pair of touchdowns in the second half of their 34-16 loss to the Buckeyes.
So is that going to be a potential concern for Patricia's defense moving forward? And why did it create issues against the Illini?
Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to answer that and discuss much more from the game, and what it could mean this weekend against Wisconsin.
