Offense really hasn’t been the issue for Ohio State this season, save for maybe one or two games. They’ve struggled with creativity, and couldn’t run for a couple weeks (still can’t really, but we’ll get to that). It felt at times like the 2015 offense with Cardale Jones: an offense with unlimited potential and a freakish, dominant quarterback that just can’t quite shift into that highest gear. For much of 2018, Ohio State’s offense was a Ferrari driving the speed limit. Sure, it gets the job done, but it just feels like there could be more.
On Saturday, Ohio State stepped on the gas and sent Michigan to the eighth circle of hell.
