Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a huge game against the Penn State Nittany Lions defense on Saturday and was all smiles after the final whistle.
Taking to X a short while ago, Harrison had just two words for his team: “That defense,” he wrote.
He followed that up by writing “BIA” – short for “Best in America.”
After holding Penn State, a team that had been averaging 44.3 points per game – fifth-most in the country – to just six points and no touchdowns, it’s a moniker that the Buckeyes have absolutely earned.
That defense 😮💨 BIA

To put that into perspective, the Ohio State Buckeyes allowed more points to Youngstown State, Western Kentucky, Notre Dame, Maryland and Purdue. Only Indiana has scored fewer points on the Buckeyes this season.
Ohio State’s offense is still getting off to slow starts though, so that bears watching over these final five games.
But for right now, the Buckeyes have clearly established themselves as a team that even the most explosive offenses in the country are going to have trouble with.
Are the Buckeyes the best defense in the country?
