Breaking Down Ohio State’s Offensive Struggles Inside the 10-Yard Line Against Michigan and Indiana

Ten yards doesn't seem like much, but Ohio State's offense has had a tough time inside the opponents' 10-yard line over the last two games.

Many variables have gone into the Buckeyes' struggles: Play calling, personnel, penalties, missed assignments, etc. But one thing is sure: Ohio State must improve on its efficiency near the goal line to win three games in the CFP and come away with back-to-back national championships.

In OSU's two biggest games of the season (not counting the season-opening win over Texas) against Michigan and Indiana), both of which were for hardware, the Buckeyes have found themselves within 10 yards of the end zone seven times.
