Should Ohio State Fans Be Concerned About The Defense?
No. 5 Ohio State is 3-1 and scoring 45 points a game. Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith just carved up Illinois for four touchdowns. The Buckeyes still look like a College Football Playoff team.

USC Head Coach Lincoln Riley Called Soft and Weak For His Handling of Desman Stephens II
Lincoln Riley is facing a familiar storm after No. 12 USC’s 41-27 home loss to No. 20 Oregon on Saturday night, but the sharpest criticism is not coming from the Ducks sideline.
