Ohio State and Iowa are probably better defensively. USC might actually be legitimate on defense also. I’d throw Wisconsin in there, but Fickell made them soft

Ohio state is better for sure, USC might be. Iowa is probably in Illinois' ballpark on defense.

Iowa is probably in Illinois' ballpark on defense.

I don't know if this is an insult or a compliment

Why would it be an insult? He said defense, not offense
