Reactions were plentiful following Ohio State's 35-28 loss to Oregon at the Horseshoe on Saturday. We certainly had lots of opinions of our own.

Is there any chance the defense will improve enough for Ohio State to be a legitimate contender to reach their goals?Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss some hard truths about this year's squad.
