Ohio State's defense took a lot of heat for its lapses in an October loss at Oregon. What's different for the Buckeyes in the Playoff?

For the Rose Bowl matchup of Oregon Ducks vs. Ohio State Buckeyes in Pasadena, California, the get-in prices are the most expensive of the quarterfinal matchups in the College Football Playoff, prices starting at $172.

The Ohio State defense has been playing lights out since the match-up with the Ducks, giving up less than 12 points per game and the secondary hasn’t allowed a passing touchdown since that day in Autzen Stadium.
