LOOK! Ohio State football has owned the Big Ten Player of the Year Award over the last decade

The Ohio State football program has dominated the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award over the last decade, winning it five times.

Ohio State has dominated Big Ten football over the last decade or so. With that usually comes the awards to prove the point even further, and there’s one graphic FOX College Football shared that hammers that point home.

You may already know this, but the Buckeyes have absolutely dominated the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year. In fact, over the last ten years, Ohio State has taken the award home five of those ten years. Braxton Miller won it in 2012 and 2013, Ezekiel Elliott in 2015, Dwayne Haskins in 2018, and of course Justin Fields in 2018.

They say offense wins games and defense wins championships, but that has changed just a wee-bit over the last decade or so. Yeah, the defense still has to be serviceable and good, but you now have to have a dynamic offense or you simply can’t keep up with all the offensive firepower many teams have in today’s day and age. To do that, you better have a dynamic playmaker on that side of the ball, and Ohio State has done well in that department.

All you have to do is take a look at the graphic below.

There’s probably some domination coming in the near future too. With Justin Fields back for this coming season, some elite wide-receivers suiting up next year and beyond, and four and five-star quarterbacks on campus already to rise up in the upcoming years, the line is forming.
