SHELL / Maryland FootballOhio State is a run-heavy, efficiency-first offense that controls games with the lead and shuts down opposing offenses at an elite level. Their defense is one of the stingiest units in the country by every measurable category, holding opponents to a 36.1% success rate and a 30.8% third-down conversion rate. Offensively they are productive and consistent, posting a PPA/play of 0.37, which is well above the strong threshold.
