The performance by the interior of Ohio State's offensive line against Georgia's superb defensive line will be crucial for the Buckeyes.
Defensive tackle Jalen Carter is the headliner on the line. Pro Football Focus graded him the highest of any power-five conference defensive player.
“He has a great understanding of football,” Wypler said. “You can tell he has great football IQ. He also is able to freelance a little bit in their defense and make plays. “He's a great player. He has great ability, great strength, great power, speed, you name it. He knows how to work his hands. Georgia's talent on the line extends far beyond Carter, starting with nose tackle Nazir Stackhouse, a 6-3, 320-pound beast. Like Ohio State's defensive line under Larry Johnson, the Bulldogs' philosophy is based on using waves of linemen to keep them fresh.
It's not as if the middle of Ohio State's offensive line consists of mediocre players. Jackson and Jones were second-team All-Big Ten in coaches voting. Jones has battled a foot injury this season and missed the Michigan game, but Wilson said he has been practicing “full tilt” and expects him to play against Georgia.
