[Data is sack-adjusted. More info on Bill Connelly's Five Factors here. The MSU kneeldowns to end the first half have been removed.]
And in graphical form:
Ohio State averaged 2.9 yards per play. To put that into context, since I've been doing this weekly column, the only time the MSU defense had a similar overall day was when Eastern Michigan put up 2.8 yards per play in a 73-14 rout in East Lansing in 2014. The last time MSU had a day like this in terms of pass defense was when they held Indiana to negative yards per pass attempt (-0.
