Introducing Ohio State's D-line, aka 'The Crushmen'

Ohio State's defensive line has a "Rushmen" package when the Buckeyes deploy four D-ends at the same time.However, analyzing Ohio State's defensive line as a whole, an accurate nickname might be "The Crushmen." Why? Because this group is loaded with experience and talent, and might be the deepest D-line to come through Columbus. Which, would be saying a lot considering some of the deep defensive lines we've seen from OSU over the years.The group is especially deep at defensive tackle, where a guy like Antwuan Jackson might be the seventh-best D-tackle on the squad. Yes, a former 5-star recruit who is coming off a good spring is probably behind the likes of BB Landers, Davon Hamilton, Tommy Togiai, Jashon Cornell, Taron Vincent and Haskell Garrett in the pecking order. And that's not a knock against Jackson. It is to illustrate the incredible depth of this unit.Oh, and Larry Johnson's crew is plenty deep and talented at defensive end as well, led by All-American candidate Chase Young.The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle on today's show for a close look at the defensive line, plus:* What type of scheduling philosophy should Ohio State have for non-conference games?
