The Shocking Statistic That Reveals Ohio State’s Hidden College Football Weakness
With 8 minutes left and Ohio State trailing 17-14 at home, the Buckeyes faced a nearly identical situation: 4th-and-half a yard at the Nebraska 28. This time, Day was not interested in testing his short-yardage run game. Howard took a shotgun snap, sprinted out to his right, and found Emeka Egbuka on the sideline for a 2-yard gain and a first down.
A few plays later, Ohio State took the lead, which it held onto for a 21-17 survival against a less talented team. So, OSU can beat Nebraska without a reliable short-yardage attack. Whether it can beat Penn State, Oregon, Texas, or Georgia is an open question entering Week 10.
