Ohio State football, given the exodus of Jim Knowles, is in the hunt for a defensive coordinator. Here’s one name they will miss on.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day had praise for defensive coordinator Jim Knowles on Sunday. While speaking at the Buckeyes' championship celebration inside Ohio Stadium, Day gave Knowles a shoutout and mentioned the defense’s dominance throughout the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State has lost consecutive two-point games to top-25 teams, most recently a 70-68 defeat at No. 24 Wisconsin on Tuesday night. That same day, Indiana took a 94-69 home loss to No. 18 Illinois that, on the heels of an 85-60 loss at Iowa three days earlier, had Hoosiers fans chanting for coach Mike Woodson to be fired.

A defensive stop on the final possession of overtime helped Indiana earn a 77-76 victory at Ohio State – their fourth victory in a row over the Buckeyes. More importantly, it broke that nightmarish two-game losing streak and gave Indiana some positive momentum.

The two were among tens of thousands of Ohio State fans who flooded the stadium Sunday to celebrate the Buckeyes' most recent national title and their second earned as part of the College Football Playoff.
