The season is right around the corner and excitement levels are high for Buckeye Nation. Here are some bold predictions from what we can expect from the Ohio State football team on offense this year.

This is one of my favorite times of the year. Right before the start of another football season, when the tension and expectations across the country and sky-high. Each brings you a little bit closer to watching the first kick of the new season with all the twists and turns only college football can bring. We are two weeks away from watching the Ohio State Buckeyes play football again.

The year will feature some new personnel, particularly at quarterback, but returns plenty of talent from the team that made the National Championship a year ago. Ohio State is not, and should not, expect any kind of down year no matter who leaves for the NFL.

For Ohio State, the goal and expectation will always be to be contenders in the College Football Playoffs. In order to reach those goals, the offense is going to have to figure out how to find their ceiling and produce at a similar level.

With that being said, here are my bold predictions of what I see the offense achieving in 2021. All of these bold predictions are realistic and can easily happen if this team hits its full potential. The first one has to deal with the running game.
