The Shocking Statistic That Reveals Ohio State’s Hidden College Football Weakness

The Buckeyes do not like to run the ball on the juiciest running downs, because they are bad at it. Not “bad for a program of Ohio State’s stature,” but bad by the standards of a power conference team. 

What is the problem? Well, it could be a few things. 

Ohio State runs the ball roughly as well on zone concepts (6.3 yards per carry on inside and outside zone) as it does on gap plays (6.2 yards per carry on power and counter). On short-yardage downs, Ohio State doesn’t fool around with power or counter runs at all, instead preferring to use standard inside zone runs or “duo,” the latter failing on three of four short-yardage tries in 2024.
