Unexpected Underdogs Poised to Shake Up College Football Playoff First Round: Who Will Defy the Odds?
Is Sampson just a product of scheme, then? Absolutely not. He still averaged 4.7 yards on his 63 carries when Tennessee was outnumbered in the box, better than the 4.5-yard average in the SEC for running backs.
Expect Sampson to get a heavy dose of defenders in this game, though. Ohio State’s 48.2% bad box rate on defense was well above the national average, and the Buckeyes have the defensive back talent to take their chances with Iamaleava and Tennessee’s receivers rather than let Sampson eat them up all night.
