Episode Notes

Matt Patricia's first season as Ohio State Defensive Coordinator could not have gone much better. The Buckeyes finished with one of the most statistically-dominate defenses in not only Buckeye football history, but all of college football.

Now, comes the hard part. Gone are SAF Caleb Downs, LBs Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese, DT Kayden McDonald and a handful of other stars who are now playing on Sundays. So what does Patricia have planned to get his rebuilt defense ready for the season?

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear directly from Patricia about more than a dozen different topics, including how they'll replace those stars, and the benefits of adding some of the veteran transfers they brought in.
