Key stat: Ewers is 5th in the country against single high safety, he’s 51st in the country against two high safety which is what Ohio State has been running a lot more this playoffs than they have all year. 

The vast majority of Texas rushing yards come on outside zone, won’t work against a fast Ohio State defense with Simon, Styles, Downs and Ransom coming down hill and JT and Sawyer who play the run really well on the outside. Ohio State leads the country in defending against the outside zone.

Predictions:

Ohio State 31-24
Ohio State 30-21

Says Texas is the last team that will be capable of beating this Ohio State team.
