Ohio State’s offense was not good against Nebraska.
There are more creative ways to say that, certainly, but that feels like throwing punches at a deceased stallion – or beating a dead horse – at this point. Put simply, the Buckeyes’ attack provided about as much downfield motion as a dead horse for long stretches of play versus the Huskers.
Against that backdrop, which has bred much fan pessimism about Ohio State’s offensive line and its capability to win at No. 3 Penn State on Saturday, one element of the Buckeyes’ offense stayed efficient and productive: its passing game.
