Ohio State still hasn’t played a 60-minute game, but the way it played the back half of each half against Penn State could go a long way to easing the tension as the HMS Buckeye sails to the finish. Leaves are awarded on a zero-to-five basis.
Offense (3 leaves)
It now looks like the red zone measures 100 yards long and 53 1/3 yards wide, and the guess here is that the Buckeyes will run faster and straighter with J.T. at the wheel. And Zeke Elliott makes any engine purr.
Defense (4 leaves)
The defense was victimized by some gashing again, but the fact it was a big-time running back made the smell seem not so foul.
