The season kicked off for the Buckeyes on Saturday afternoon with a 23-3 victory over Indiana. The performance left fans feeling underwhelmed with the offense’s performance as they struggled more than many expected.
Although the Buckeyes retained a lot of talent in the skill positions, the Buckeyes lost star quarterback C.J. Stroud, as well three all-conference performers on the offensive line in Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones, and Luke Wypler.
The good news is it is just week one and the Buckeyes’ next two opponents before Notre Dame, are Youngstown State and Western Kentucky. Thus, they’ll have time to find their groove offensively heading into a big matchup with the Fighting Irish.
With that in mind, will we break down each offensive position group’s performance using Pro Football Focus grades for each player. While PFF grades aren’t the end all be all, it is a great tool to break down individual players’ performance.
