Ohio State places high value on variety Boston Globe Unlike most major conferences, the Big Ten offers a hefty athletic plate for both men and women, holding championships in 19 sports.

Torrence has it covered at cornerback The Dispatch If Devon Torrence had been quizzed a few years ago on the role of a cornerback, he probably would have talked a lot about man-to-man coverage and making interceptions. Watch the NFL every Sunday – that’s what corners do. A major part of Torrence’s education at Ohio State has been discovering that college football demands a different approach – not that he should be chastised for needing a learning curve.
