What Hidden Defensive Weapon Could Make Ohio State Unstoppable Against Notre Dame?
There is good news, though: For all of Ohio State’s short yardage problems on offense, the defense has been absolute money in the same position. You need only look at two sequences in particular:
- In the Cotton Bowl, Sawyer’s Strip-6 came only after Texas had 1st-and-goal at the Ohio State 1-yard line. The Buckeyes stuffed a run up the middle on first down, created a loss of 7 yards on a pitch on second down, and forced an incompletion on third down before Sawyer brought the house down on fourth. Needing to hammer out just 1 yard against OSU, Texas stopped trying.
- In Week 10, Ohio State led Penn State by a touchdown with just more than 5 minutes remaining. PSU had 1st-and-goal at the Ohio State 3, then carried three times for 2 yards before Drew Allar threw an incompletion into the end zone from the 1 on fourth down.
Ohio State’s overall short-yardage run stats are fine: 2.84 yards allowed per carry on third and fourth down with 2 yards or less to gain for the offense, plus a 68.4% success rate on those carries (against a power conference average of 70.9%).
