2013 – The Chase for Safety Solidarity
Coach Withers is having none of your shenanigans
All this week, we at Buckeye Empire have profiled and broken down the men who will serve as the last line of defense for the Ohio State Buckeyes. From Christian Bryant to C.J. Barnett and all the young Bucks who will come into old Columbus town this fall, the safeties unit is quite possibly the second most important defensive unit...

Buckeyes defense relies on experienced secondary
Safety Christian Bryant doesn't mince words.

''I'm chasing a national championship,'' he said. ''That's what I'm chasing.''
If Ohio State is to pursue such a lofty goal...

Ohio State struggles, then defeats UAB
If you're one of those who were confused, and maybe even a little upset, that Ohio State dropped four spots in the polls after their win last week, you only need to look to their opening series this week to understand why.
UAB had the ball first, and on their very first set of downs, Ohio State had them at 3rd & 1. The defense that was called was the right one, as it...
