Ohio State’s offense was one of the best in the country last year, but that does not mean there is not significant room for improvement in some important aspects. This offseason, most of the emphasis has been on Ohio State’s needed improvement on the defensive side of the ball. They added three new coaches to that side, and decided a major overhaul was necessary. Offensively, a major overhaul is not necessary, but the run game does need to improve if Ohio State wants their offense to be truly maximized.
In 2021, the Buckeyes got stagnant at times and failed to sustain key drives due to failures running the football in short yardage situations.
