The offense in 2014 was close to having the balance Urban Meyer always said he wanted, 250 yards rushing and passing, and Ohio State won the National Championship. This year’s Buckeye offense is also balanced and may be even better.
First a look at the two rushing attacks.
In 2014 Ohio State averaged 264.5 yards per game rushing with Ezekiel Elliot leading the way with 1,878 yards. Curtis Samuel totaled 383 yards on the ground backing up Zeke as well as playing the H-back position.
Running back Brionte Dunn rushed for over 100 yards (101) as did H-backs Jalin Marshall (145) and Dontre Wison (100).
