OSU Defense
Despite preseason talk of five and possibly six defensive backs, you can expect to see a more traditional 4-3 set with four defensive backs and three linebackers to combat the running game of SDSU, although the SDSU running game did struggle last week against an FCS opponent.

Ohio State dropped from No. 2 to 3 in the AP poll, after being jumped by Oregon. Ohio State remained No. 2 in the USA Today-Coaches poll. The AP is not considered for the BCS rankings.
Roster Update
Normally this section relates to injuries, but Ohio State has two players returning after missing the first game for disciplinary reasons. Bradley Roby is listed as a co-starter with Armani Reeves at cornerback. Meyer has indicated that Roby must earn his spot back in practice. Running back Rod Smith also missed one game for disciplinary reasons but he is available this game, but he did not make the two-deep depth chart. CJ Barnett missed the Buffalo game with a sprained ankle but is listed on this week's depth chart. Offensive lineman Corey Linsley missed playing time last week but he is expected to return this week in limited action as he continues to recover from a foot injury and surgery.
