As some of you know, I like to hear/read what people are saying about our beloved Buckeyes. This is especially true of film study gurus like Kyle Jones and Ross Fulton. Through them, I've found other coaches/film study guys who break down the Buckeyes.
Or, in other words, I scour the internet so you don't have to!
While we wait for Kyle's Thursday/Friday film study... here's some good stuff (via Twitter):
- First up, some "big picture" things from PFF. I know they rate things wonky sometimes, but they overall rate us well here.

- Next, let's see some of Ross Fulton's thoughts during the game.
Like many here, Ross has noticed that we are being stubborn on 3rd & 4th and short.
Those are the situations where I think OSU is just making it unnecessarily hard on itself by going so heavy in short yardage. You are allowed to throw the football

Ross mentioned previously that we were more diverse in our run game before the bye week, including more counter plays this year. We saw at least one again this week...big play by X.
OSU finally ran counter GH again. https://t.co/uvWYTjNb4I

Dallan Hayden played well. One thing that he seems to be better at is Day/Wilson's stretch/outside zone run game. Ross has said he doesn't feel that is as much Miyan's or certainly Trey's game. Maybe these plays will work a lot better for us next year. Alternatively, it was nice to see Ohio State run more gap/power/inside successfully.
Hayden runs stretch really well

And a good thread from Coach Radcliff (who Ross retweets regularly). Explains some of our few breakdowns on D vs. Indiana.
