So according to this, Ohio State's biggest issue that can be exploited is their linebackers and safeties in coverage. Do you really trust Browning to stay in the pocket and pick their defense apart in the middle? Cause I sure as hell don't.
I know their run D has been bad since Bosa went on holiday too, but we really need to open up some big runs for Gaskin and Ahmed to even have a chance to score with how inconsistent our offense is.
Ohio State is 37 in defensive S&P+ which isn't that terrible. Wazzu is 50 and we only scored 28 on them. Stanford is 51 and we only scored 27 on them. Colorado is 64 and we only scored 27 on them as well. Oregon is 69 (lol) and we only scored 27 on them as well.
We did score 31 points on UCLA, but they're #103 so I have a feeling we won't score 31 on Ohio State. I think we'll be lucky to get 14+.
That Bukstik could not be less accurate had he been guessing. Huskies can move the ball but they can't put it in the end zone. The chance of us? putting up 31 points and the Buckeyes scoring more than 30 are slim.

I'd be thrilled to be wrong, but I don't see how we score enough points to beat them, even if our D holds them to 10.
Our O is that shitty.
