Ohio State lost its top four offensive producers from the 2013 season. It lost four offensive line starters, three of which now start for NFL teams.
Sure, there have been kinks in the adaption, but there is a lot of reason for optimism regarding the future of Ohio State football:
97 of Ohio State's 121 points scored this season have been by freshmen or sophomores. #Buckeyes

That clocks in at 80.1% of Ohio State's points being ginned by underclassmen. The fact the Buckeyes will retain Braxton Miller in 2015 must be quite perturbing for Big Ten defensive coordinators.
Ohio State is young and hungry, and there's no reason to think the offense won't continue its growth as the season progresses. The future looks so bright I may need to barrow somebody's pair of shades.
