Ohio State’s Pass Rush Has Been Historically Bad in 2026
Ohio State’s pass rush has been historically unproductive through its first nine games of 2026.
Dating back to 1981, when Ohio State first began tracking sacks, the Buckeyes have never had fewer than 20 sacks in a season. With only three games left in this year's regular season, Ohio State has only 11 sacks.
With only two total sacks in their last four games, the 2026 Buckeyes are averaging only 1.2 sacks per game – a half-sack per game less than their previous season-lows, in 1982 and 2001, when they averaged 1.7 sacks per game (Ohio State had 20 sacks in 12 games in both seasons).
