The concept of a 'perfect game' might be reserved for baseball but if we translate it to OSU football, here's a few individual defensive performances worthy of the designation.
After New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German threw just the 24th perfect game in Major League History a couple weeks ago, I began wondering which performances by Ohio State football players could win an argument as being perfect games on the gridiron.
Oh and as I also noted last week, I'm only including games I saw with my own two eyes. I'll be 50 later this year, for context to what that means.If you're looking for an entry to consider from an Ohio State linebacker, that list should include Chris Spielman's 29-tackle performance in a 26-24 loss to Michigan back in 1986.
With Ohio State down two points late, Spielman came up with a stop on 2nd-and-4 to set up a 3rd-and-2. On the next snap he forced a fumble giving Ohio State's offense a chance to drive down the field for what ended up being a missed field goal that would've won the game.The 29 tackles in a single-game is still tied for the school-record with Tom Cousineau's effort against Penn State back in 1978.
Of the nine individual Buckeye performances with three picks, only White could boast a pick-six as his 29-yard touchdown return provided the game's final scoring margin. His non-sack tackle for loss was a pedestrian, for him, one-yard loss play as he pulled down the Badgers tight end after a quick toss.
