COLUMBUS, Ohio – If there's one thing other than a dinner buffet that gets the attention of defensive linemen, it's a freshman quarterback.
No. 4 Ohio State's defense is well aware that the signal-caller for Saturday's opponent, California, is just a few months removed from worrying about prom dates and getting to his home room on time.
Jared Goff is the Bears' rookie quarterback — and also the focal point for the Buckeyes' pass-rushers.
Goff, however, is no easy mark. He has gotten off to a terrific start and is leading the nation with 930 yards passing in two games.
How successful the Buckeyes are at harassing Goff — and how good he is at not being affected by the pressure — will likely decide the outcome.
