The Buckeyes Don't Want Chris Ash and Familiar Company Spoiling Homecoming
When Chris Ash arrived as the 30th head coach of Rutgers, he didn’t do so alone. The former Ohio State co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach brought with him eight staff members with ties to the Buckeyes.
On Saturday, these coaches return to Ohio Stadium where they once celebrated a national championship, this time wearing a different shade of Scarlet and looking for a win on the opposing sideline.
That’s not how the Scarlet and Gray plan on welcoming back their former brothers.
“It’s going to be nice seeing Coach Ash again,” H-back Curtis Samuel said, “but we know what we’re out there to do. We’re out there to handle business.”
The Buckeyes enter this game fresh off an early off weekend. While OSU did not play a game last Saturday, the coaches and players were at work preparing for this contest with the Scarlet Knights.
“We do things like signals, I'm just making sure that just things like that, especially defensively, with our defensive signals,” head coach Urban Meyer said on Monday. “But offensively, we go so fast and we do double down on (that) not just because it's Chris and (people) that know our program very well, but that bye week that's what you do.”
During his time at Ohio State, Ash helped to reshape the Buckeye defense, which has been one of the best in the nation even after his departure. Even though the Rutgers unit hasn’t proven as successful, Meyer still referred to the Scarlet Knights as “our defense” after watching film on the opposition.
