To be honest i dont think it was really the defensive players, rather the coordinator.
We played the same defense that we got beat by illinois, multiple plays Osu just wasn't in good position. The Sec may be quicker but an O coordinator that figures out how to beat a defense generally wins. the year we beat Miami we had Dantonio for a D coordinator and now he's a head coach.
Similiarly the zone we ran against Florida was designed to prevent the deep ball. No offense to Chris Leak but he's not as much of a deep ball threat, he's better at throwing the short pass with zip and we gave him those 8 yard slants all night that game. We have the athletes to compete with an Sec speed we just can't seem to get over the hump of getting some stops on D
Solution could be to getting a new d coordinator.
Biggest plays were special teams though I still can't believe 38 did that, completely killed us
