Well, here’s something we haven’t seen in a while. The Ohio State offense is sputtering, and it’s the defense carrying the team against an Iowa team that can make you work on every offensive possession.
The Buckeyes just intercepted another pass to make it three turnovers on the day against the Hawkeyes. This time Tommy Eichenberg came away with the pick deep in Iowa territory and scampered the short distance for the score. The defensive touchdown extended Ohio State’s lead to 16 heading into halftime.
Check out the pick six and see what Twitter had to say.

He is pretty good
Tommy Eichenberg is the best LB in the nation.

He will not be underrated much longer
The Iowa offense is all-time bad but Ohio State’s D is stepping up big today—especially Tommy Eichenberg who capitalizes on a poor decision and bad ball here for a pick six. He’s been one of the most underrated LBs in the country this year. pic.twitter.com/5FmjFsTBcV

Hardware in Eichenberg's future?
Tommy Eichenberg should be a favorite to win the Butkus Award. The last Buckeye to win it was James Laurinaitis. #GoBucks

Thank you, Jim Knowles
Tommy Eichenberg might be the best LB in America. He’s a good example of why coaching matters. He’s done a 180 and pure stud.
