As you might expect from a team that led the nation in both points per game (45.7) and yards per game (561.2) per game, Ohio State’s season was full of explosive plays all year long. Most of those came from the Buckeyes’ top-ranked offense, though Ohio State also tied for the national lead with six defensive touchdowns and had some big moments on special teams, as well.
There were so many great plays during the 2021 season that we had to turn what could have been a top-10 list into a top-20 list – and even then, we were forced to make difficult decisions about which plays would and wouldn’t make the cut.
