The Illinois game is over. The film has been watched. Now we’re starting to get an idea of how Ohio State is responding to it.
Ryan Day and Kenyatta Jackson both addressed the media Tuesday, and there was a pretty clear theme running through both press conferences:

Day talked about defensive execution, creating more pressure, getting more production from the defensive line and not trying to get too cute against Iowa.
Jackson was even more direct, talking about “hero ball,” gap discipline and the importance of playing all 60 minutes.
So what should we actually take from those comments?
On this episode of Buckeye Film Breakdown, we’re breaking down the biggest messages from the Day and Jackson pressers, what they tell us about the Illinois film, and what Ohio State needs to correct before heading to Iowa.
