New Albany native Darron Lee played quarterback his entire football career, but when OSU Linebacker coach Luke Fickell came calling, he decided he would be able to switch positions. Darren and I discuss his redshirt year in 2013 and how tough the transition was for a skinny athletic kid to come in and play the type of physically demanding football it takes to earn your keep as a member of the Silver Bullet defense. He talks about the difficulties many of the young players faced during the 2014 season. After suffering difficult loss early to Virginia Tech, Darren discusses how the night game in Happy Valley defined both JT Barrett as a starter and the 2014 OSU squad as a whole.
