Opponent Snapshot: Ohio State

Ohio State went 11-2 in 2021, winning nine in a row and 10 of their last 11 after a 1-1 start. This of course included the 33-24 victory over Penn State in late October. The tree nuts ended the season with a 48-45 win over Utah in the Rose Bowl, after falling to Michigan for the first time since 2011. Their explosive offense averaged nearly 46 points per game and anchored by five NFL Draft picks, including wideouts Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. Meanwhile, the defense struggled at times to stop opposing offenses consistently.
