The Buckeyes used increased amounts of gap run concepts such as counter trey (with a log blog on the spilling defensive end), buck sweep, and duo to fit Henderson’s preference to bounce outside (Henderson would also help the Ohio state run game if he improved his cutback ability). Yet Ohio State’s run game is not entirely dire. Although injuries and illness happen, the Buckeye offense will be better served if they can play five guys at the same spots throughout and not have Petit-Frere moving from left to right tackle or Thayer Munford back and forth between left guard and tackle, which is harming the collective coordination against the heavy amount of stunts and games the offensive line is facing The Ohio State offensive line is seemingly struggling with the lack of consistency in the starting five. When the Buckeyes could get a hat on the playside linebacker-even when they could not get to the backside linebacker-they could generate positive plays, such as this six-yard gain off weak wide zone (which could have been more if Paris Johnson got to the playside linebacker instead of chasing his zone track instead of left tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere coming over and having to leave the backside linebacker unblocked).Īnd when the Ohio State front did not step too wide chasing slants with their zone steps on wide split zone and got to both linebackers they were able to generate TreVeyon Henderson’s best run on his last carry. Yet even with that, the play could have had a better result if center Luke Wypler did not widen so much in his zone steps chasing the 3-technique slanting playside and instead got upfield to the Mike linebacker, who was left sitting in the hole unblocked. Nebraska again brings backside edge pressure and tight end Jeremy Ruckert is seemingly confused in his kick out assignment. For instance below, the Buckeyes run split mid-zone.

Below, the blitzing backside edge defender overruns Ohio State’s weak GY counter trey.īut as problematically, the Ohio State offensive line and tight ends again struggled getting to the second level play side linebacker in light of defensive line movement, all too often leaving a free hitter in the hole. At times, the Buckeyes were outnumbered-particularly from overhang pressure-that was not accounted for in the blocking scheme, resulting in negative plays. As against Penn State, Ohio State faced two interrelated problems in the run game.
