Maybe the Rushing Attack Isn't That Bad After All.

Yes the Minnesota game was bad. However, maybe we are used to more rushing yards because we have had running backs playing quarterback over the last 6 years.

Looking at statistics, the team is ranked 40th in fbs in rushing yards, averaging 4.62 yards per carry, looking at Alabama they are only 28th averaging 5.44 yards per carry.

Since we are comparing ourselves to Alabama, let's look at strength of schedule per ncaa.com Ohio St has the 6th ranked schedule Alabama has the 28th ranked schedule.

Digging deeper Ohio St passing offense ranks 3rd in the country while Alabama ranks 6th.

So while there are things that need to be fixed, when we compare ourselves to Alabama we have a better passing offense, a lesser rushing offense, while playing a tougher schedule.

Maybe things aren't so bad after all
