One of the reasons we don't have sacks is because our talent at end is overstated and we've been rather mediocre at the tackles of late. I'm hopeful for Gibson but Rose hasn't really shown much. Wilson hasn't either, although he has an excuse. Heyward was worse last year than he was his freshman year and I'm curious as to how well he will do at defensive tackle, if/when the move materializes. Abdallah finished out last season strong, but outside of him (and even including him, really) the talent level on the interior just isn't/hasn't been fitting for a team like Ohio State.
Nathan Williams and Thaddeus Gibson are the best pass rushers we have, but you have to consider their ability against the run, too, which is why neither might see the field as much as they could. Heyward, Simon, and Goebel could be a different story at tackle, but I have reservations about all of them.
The other thing is we don't blitz creatively/well.
