His deflection in the endzone was a thing of beauty. Reminded me of his pass breakup in the spring game.

He has been phenomenal thus far. I'd call him a pleasant surprise because most didn't even know if he would be the starter or if he would hold on to the job. Not only has he done that, but he has excelled. If there is a weak spot in our secondary, we sure haven't seen it yet.

That's how I feel and Urban echoed that sentiment in his presser. And Gareon is a huge, huge part of that...everyone wants to avoid Apple/Bell/Powell but are finding no safe haven with Gareon. Stud.

The improvement from the Mich St game to now is off the charts. Glad we stole him from the evil empire.

Two-Minute Drill: Updates From the Ohio State - Indiana Postgame
Fickell said he didn't know what the injury to Conley was for sure.

Powell's angles will always be a weakness... he makes up for it in other ways though. Particularly seems to have a knack to be in the right spot at big moments. Wiscy was probably his best game cuz they brought him up pretty close to the LOS.
Conley's been a baller out there. Maybe even better than Apple at times? Apples been caught for a few PI/holds (one unfairly).
These are the corners we've been looking for to run press.

Another great performance for Gareon. Very impressive INT and how about getting that punt block late in the game? Showed some real heart, he is playing lights out.

WILL GAREON CONLEY BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE THE NEXT OHIO STATE CORNER TO LEAVE EARLY FOR THE NFL? HIS COACHES HOPE SO
Kerry Coombs and Greg Schiano know what they face. And they welcome the challenge, a main reason Urban Meyer brought them to Ohio State.
The program's long success of exporting cornerbacks to the NFL speaks for itself. Three Buckeyes at the position made their way to the league since Meyer took over ahead of the 2012 season: Bradley Roby, Doran Grant and most recently Eli Apple. Roby and Apple were first round picks. Grant is entering his second year with Pittsburgh.
There are more beyond those that coincided with the Meyer regime, too. Malcolm Jenkins, Ashton Youboty, Chris Gamble, Nate Clements, Ahmed Plummer, Antoine Winfield, Shawn Springs and others played (or still play) in the NFL following stellar college careers.
"It is the standard of the corner room that you are going to be in the conversation to be a first-round draft pick," said Coombs, Ohio State's cornerbacks coach. "That’s been established well before I came here and that is a tradition that we are not going to let go of."
So who is next in line to be a first round pick? According to Coombs and Schiano, it is Gareon Conley, a redshirt junior slotted as Ohio State's lead corner following Apple's early departure.
"He’s a very talented guy who’s played a lot of plays around here," Schiano said of Conley. "I actually hope we fast-forward two years for that, but the reality of college football these days is that if they’re good enough they’re going to go. He’s got a chance for sure."

Ohio State needs Gareon Conley to solidify an inexperienced secondary
The lone returning starter in the Buckeye secondary will be a player to watch in Week 1.
The storylines surrounding the Ohio State football team during the 2015 offseason were all about how they were going to be able to maximize their historic levels of returning talent to win a second consecutive National Championship. While a 12-1 record and a 16-point victory over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl looks great in a vacuum, the 2015 Buckeyes didn’t quite live up to preseason expectations.
The situation is slightly different heading into this season as the 2016 team looks to replace 12 players taken in the NFL draft (including five in the first round) and two more unsigned free agents still on their respective rosters. While expectations are always high in Columbus, many national experts expect the Jim Harbaugh-led Team Up North to capture the Big Ten crown.
With only six starters returning, three on each side of the ball, Urban Meyer and staff are going to have to rely on their unproven stockpile of top-line recruiting talent to fill important holes left in every position group.
On offense, the once and future starter J.T. Barrett is now firmly entrenched under center, or in the gun as it were, and All-American Pat Elflein returns to Columbus to move inside to finish his collegiate career at center. Junior Billy Price is also back at right guard.
On defense, Tyquan Lewis returns to anchor the line at one end position, while Sam Hubbard will likely replace the finally signed No. 3 pick Joey Bosa on the other end, as he did following the All-American’s targeting ejection in the bowl game. All-Conference middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan should steady a talented corps, but it will be up to junior cornerback Gareon Conely to provide a measure of veteran leadership to the exceptionally inexperienced backend of the Ohio State defense. For this reason, he is the defensive player to watch in Saturday’s opening-week match-up with Bowling Green.
The stats
Year: Junior
Height: 6'0
Weight: 190 lbs.
2015 Stat Line: 58 targets, 21 completions allowed, 49 tackles, 2 interceptions, 5 pass breakups
As Christopher Jason pointed out in his “Most Important Players” series, Conley had a fairly strong sophomore season playing opposite Eli Apple, who eventually went 10th to the New York Giants. However, with Apple and safeties Von Bell and Tyvis Powell gone to the NFL, Conley moves from the short side cornerback position to the field side, changing his responsibilities.
