When Ohio State`s Tyler Moeller tore his left pectoral muscle in the Buckeyes` win over Illinois on Oct. 2, it was difficult to say just what OSU lost: a defensive back or linebacker?
The accuracy is, the Buckeyes lost a combining of the two.
Moeller played the "lead" position - a hybrid defensive back/linebacker who lines up over the slot receiver as the Buckeyes` nickelback, or fifth defensive back, when teams present three- or four-receiver sets.
