Ohio State has five stars all over the place, but its defensive line has a number of them. Of those guys, sophomore JT Tuimoloau was the highest-rated recruit, as the No. 4 player in his recruiting class a couple of years ago.

This year, he’s played up to the hype. He doesn’t have the gaudiest numbers on the season, including just 3.5 sacks.

However, he’s had a few monstrous games, including against Penn State, where he had two sacks, a forced fumble, two fumbles recovered, and two interceptions.

As the old saying goes, big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. Tuimoloau is certainly a big-time player and could be in for a big game.

Michigan’s offensive line has been incredible all season, however, they have not faced a challenge quite this big. How they perform could dictate how Michigan’s offense plays, and perhaps even the result of the game.
