It’s no secret that Ohio State’s offensive line didn’t play to expectations Saturday.
The Buckeyes averaged 4.6 yards per carry – almost a full yard below their mark of 5.4 a season ago – and quarterback Kyle McCord came under pressure in the pocket on a number of his dropbacks.
“I felt like they needed to play better,” Ryan Day said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. “In the run game, I think we were only 50 percent efficient overall on first- and second-downs running the ball. That’s not good enough. They certainly did give us some things that we weren’t expecting, but even when they did, I don’t think we handled it as well as we could have.
