READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above

KEY 01

They run the ball and they are good at it. At 53% overall and 57.5% on first down, your base run defense has to be sound and physical before anything else. Their 1st-down PPA of 0.21 tells you they are winning that down consistently, so if you let them establish the run early, you are already behind in the game script.

KEY 02

3rd and short is a run situation, full stop. At 72.7%, load the box and stop the run on 3rd and short or they will convert and extend drives. Their 56.4% 3rd-down conversion rate is too high to let them pick up easy yards when they hand it off in obvious short-yardage spots.

KEY 03

In the red zone, they go to the ground game at 65.3%. Your red-zone run defense must be your tightest package of the week. Do not let field compression and tight space cause your defenders to lose gap integrity. If they get to the red zone and you cannot stop the run, they will score.

Bottom lineOhio State is a physical, run-first offense with a 54.2% success rate and a 0.34 PPA per play, meaning they move the ball efficiently and consistently. Win first down, stop the run in short yardage and the red zone, and force them into 3rd and long where they become one-dimensional at 80% pass.
