The Buckeyes operate primarily out of 11 and 21 personnel, with running back Mike Webber and H-back Curtis Samuel capable of lining up in the backfield or the slot. Tight end Marcus Baugh moves around quite a bit, lining up out wide, on the line and in the backfield.
JT Barrett, despite his limitations, doesn’t turn the ball over and makes the correct reads. Add in his and Webber’s ability to fall forward and Samuel’s explosiveness and it’s not hard to see how Ohio State ran for 3,100 yards. The offensive line is inconsistent and has struggled against larger defensive fronts, often forcing Barrett to scramble to keep plays alive.
