Ohio State Football: A big offensive challenge

The Ohio State football team had one of the best offenses in the country last year. In fact, they had the best offense in terms of total yards and points. They were really good all year long. The fact that they lost two games last season wasn’t due to them.

Ohio State will have a great offense again this year. They will actually have a unique challenge this year. How are they going to be able to spread the ball around enough to make everyone happy? There are a lot of guys who are expecting to touch the ball frequently.

C.J. Stroud obviously gets to touch it every play. But he’s got three really good receivers he can throw the ball to, led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The other guys are going to want the ball thrown their way too so they can show how good they are with the ball in their hands.

Oh, by the way, the Buckeyes have a dynamic running back in the backfield who can break a big run every time he carries the ball. That is TreVeyon Henderson. Once he gets the ball in open space, he is so fast that he can just run past everyone. That’s what he did in the opener against Minnesota.

Miyan Williams is no slouch at running back too. He was the starter at running back early in 2021 before Henderson really got rolling. He has a great combination of strength and speed as well. He’s the backup and he could start at every other Big Ten program.

It’s a good problem to have, but Ryan Day has the unique challenge of needing to spread the ball around to great players that can all make plays. It’s much better than the alternative.
