Yes, we've had 12 INTs this year. The statistic for our pass defense that stands out to me is the 9.87 Yrds/Comp rate (not to be confused with Yrds/Attmpt).
OSU is the only D1A school in the country with a Yrds/Comp rate not in the double digits. Pick your poison, either its proof that its a good scheme to play soft zone and keep the play in front, or it is evidence that teams have no problem nickel-and-dime'ing us to death.
The numbers are skewed a little bit because we've also got one of the highest numbers of pass plays against in the nation (341) while the national average is ~250. Our poor tackling on 3rd down and our winded defense having to play 45 minutes every game is killing us.

OSU is #32)
As much as I love Dustin Fox (one of the most underrated Buckeyes ever) I can't wait to see Youboty, Ginn Jr, and O'Neil in the backfield next year. With the depth at DB and the LBs, our secondary is going to be vicious.
