Despite a record-setting performance, we didn’t end up learning a ton about the Buckeyes. However, the backups — including Dwayne Haskins! — got plenty of work in. With meetings with Penn State, Iowa and Michigan left on the schedule, Ohio State has some tough defenses that they’ll have to face, so at least the backups were able to get in playing time while they could.
With backups playing so much it’s no surprise that Ohio State had a little bit of a sloppy game, but some of the biggest mistakes were actually by starters, including Kendall Sheffield’s penalties and coverage, Campbell’s fumble, and the offensive line allowing a few sacks.
