CAN OHIO STATE’S DEFENSE REPEAT ITS BALLHAWKING WAYS IN 2015?
Ohio State safety Vonn Bell had a phrase he used last season when he garnered an interception. Bell referred to those takeaways as “money balls.”
If the interceptions were actually worth any sort of cash consideration, Bell would have been richer than any other Buckeye on defense in 2014. Bell’s six picks led all Ohio State players.
“It’s just having a knack for the ball,” Bell said last season. “I always wanted to be a ballhawk and always wanted to make plays for this defense.”
But the Buckeyes as a team would have fared pretty well, too. Ohio State recorded 25 interceptions during last season’s national championship run. That number was first in the Big Ten (by a wide margin) and fourth nationally. Only Louisville, Louisiana Tech and TCU recorded more team interceptions as each of those programs had 26. Michigan State was second in the Big Ten in interceptions as the Spartans recorded 18 as a team.
