Ohio State's offense mustered what amounts to its worst day ever of the Urban Meyer tenure and is making comparisons to its worst output of any Ohio State game since the 2007 BCS National Championship debacle against Urban Meyer's Gators.
How bad was it? Here's how this game compares to the season averages for 2015 to date on some key metrics.
| Statistic | vs. Michigan State | Season Average | Big Ten Rank (Season) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yards per game | 132 | 453.3 | 2 |
| Rushing yards per game | 89 | 244.8 | 1 |
| Passing yards per game | 43 | 208.5 | 10 |
| First downs | 5 | 22.3 | 2 |
| Time of possession | 21:50 | 29:34 | 9 |
| Third down conversion | 4/14 (28%) | 38.58% | 7 |
Oof.
Ohio State's offense may have played itself out Indianapolis and the College Football Playoff. It will at least hope to show something different than this next week in Ann Arbor.
