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.

Ohio State's Offense vs. Michigan State and the Season Average
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.
