With only a handful of mostly meaningless bowl games left (and, oh yeah, the national championship game), the sample size for the 2022 football season is 99.9% complete. So how did OSU fare on both sides of the ball coming out of a disappointing season?
I crunched the numbers (OK, I googled it) and came to the conclusions below of where the offense and the defense finished nationally using non-advanced metrics. For the Dave Hudsons of the world, I also included some slightly more advanced metrics to satisfy the hunger for a more complete look at things from an efficiency perspective.
