The Sweet Spot

It has frustrated Buckeye fans for decades now.

For some reason, the offense can't seem to locate it. Coaches know it's there somewhere but stop trying to tap it during games. It is routinely ignored despite its ability to change momentum and increase tempo. It's been overlooked on nearly every Saturday, season after season.

It feels as though Ohio State's offensive coaches could not find a tight end even if you gave them a map and a head start.

Over two decades have passed since Walt Harris' offense threw split backs at defenses to pull them out laterally, stretched the field longitudinally with track stars at the flanker and split-end positions and then forced some poor weak-side linebacker to cover Rickey Dudley with no one else in sight.
