Trey Sermon will score on the ground and through the air
One thing Ohio State hasn’t done that much is getting the running back involved in the passing game. It hasn’t been needed because of how dynamic the slot and outside receivers have been. But that might need to change for this game.
There are rumors that one of OSU’s top receivers might be out of the game, and that means it’s the next man up. It also means that a loss of one weapon on the outside, in combination with the style of defense the Wildcats play, will lead to some opportunities out of the backfield.
Sermon is the better of the two backs in getting out in space, and he’s going to make some plays in the passing game and shake free for a touchdown on the ground as well.
