With a dose of physicality, Ohio State borrowed Western Kentucky’s defensive game plan and executed it better, generating turnovers and big plays.
Linebackers Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers were the top two tacklers for the Buckeyes Saturday, collecting 10 and 8, respectively. Day credited Chambers with the initial spark for the defense when he made a 1-yard tackle for loss on a 3rd-and-5 play in the second quarter. The Hilltoppers failed to convert the ensuing 4th-and-6 and Ohio State outscored Western Kentucky 42-0 after that point.
The other came with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter. Rather than just breaking up a pass, this time Chambers hauled in his first interception of the season and fourth of his Ohio State career. “It’s like a little bowling ball, he’s just going left and right all over the line. It’s crazy,” Chambers said of Williams. “Sometimes he’ll steal tackles from us. Just his ability to take on double blocks and somehow peel off and make a tackle is pretty insane.”
The Hilltoppers’ 10 points and 284 yards were both the fewest they’ve amassed in a game since the start of the 2021 season.
