There’s work to be done in the running game
Yeah, we’re nitpicking here but the traditional rushing game with the tailbacks has yet to get on track. Master Teague went for over 100 yards today, Sermon rolled up 56 yards on the ground, but the per carry average for both was under 5.0. We’re probably a little spoiled with what J.K. Dobbins did over the last three years, but at some point, Ohio State is going to need more back there.
There’s enough to get some power running and straight-line yards when there’s running room, but there just isn’t a game-breaker that has emerged yet. Can Sermon or Teague still turn into that? We shall see.
