It didn’t take long for new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson to put his fingerprints on the Ohio State offense. In the Week 1 matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers, we saw tempo, wheel routes, crossing patterns, wide receiver screens and more high percentage throws for J.T. Barrett. Although the first half looked more like the inconsistent 2016 offense, the receivers started to gain separation and Barrett started to hit his open receivers which resulted in some big plays.
