Ohio State improves to 6-0 after a 34-16 road win over Illinois — but it wasn’t pretty on offense. The Buckeyes scored just one offensive TD in the first half and struggled to finish drives despite four short fields.
In this episode, we break down offensive stats, PFF trends, and player grades from the win in Champaign:
📊 Key Takeaways:
Julian Sayin: 18/27, 173 yards, 2 TDs — efficient but conservative
Playcalling imbalance: 37 runs vs. 27 passes, only 4.6 YPP
Bo Jackson & CJ Donaldson combine for 91 rushing yards on 23 carries
OSU still hasn’t hit 4.5 YPC in three straight games
Jeremiah Smith & Carnell Tate steady in quiet WR day
Red zone rhythm issues: 2 TDs on 5 trips
Offensive line strong in pass pro, soft in short yardage
Grades: QB: B | RB: C- | WR/TE: B | OL: B- | Playcalling: C+
🧩 The defense is carrying the load — but the offense must find rhythm and red zone efficiency before Penn State.
