OSU Bullets

• Feels like 45′ dropped a podcast yesterday with Adam Lunt breaking down the new DC hire among other topics

• Pretty interesting to read about Bryce Thompson and his family’s experience going back to KU Monday

• OSU’s defensive resurgence was a part of a national renaissance of defenses across college football:

The laid-back Jim Knowles turned a transformative year at Oklahoma State into the leading the defense at Ohio State. The Big 12 had two top 10 scoring defenses (Oklahoma State, Baylor). The offense-first league hadn’t put one team on that list since 2014.
