Ohio State’s linebacker play has gone from a weakness to a strength as Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers have emerged as two of the Buckeyes’ best defensive players this season.
Against Rutgers, though, it was Ohio State’s other starting linebacker who had the biggest day for the Buckeyes’ defense. Will linebacker Steele Chambers put his sideline-to-sideline athleticism, instincts and playmaking ability on full display as he recorded a team-high 11 tackles – including two tackles for loss – as well as his first interception of the season in Saturday’s 49-10 win over the Scarlet Knights.
Eichenberg leads the Buckeyes with 42 total tackles this season and 5.5 tackles for loss . Chambers now has 30 total tackles in 2022 and four tackles for loss . “I think they are just playing faster. They’re diagnosing plays faster. They understand how teams are trying to attack them,” Day said. “I think it's twofold. One, it’s a year under your belt of playing and figuring out how teams are attacking you. And in-game adjustments and just seeing things over and over and over again.
