Ohio State football: Ryan Day proves he’s the elite play caller in College Football

We all knew that the Ohio State football team was going to have a great offense this year, but Ryan Day has taken it to another level.

In 2021, no one gained more yards per game or scored more points per game than the Ohio State football team. They were the best offense in the country by far. Even then, it wasn’t enough to help the Buckeyes make the College Football Playoff, or even win the Big Ten, it laid the groundwork for this year.

Now, the Buckeyes once again have a deadly offense. They have the second-best offense in the country, trailing only Tennessee by 2 yards. They are third in points per game as well, trailing only two teams who haven’t played anyone good yet in Oklahoma State and TTUN.

The reason why Ohio State’s offense is already better than last year’s is because they have put up these numbers without the services of their best player. Jaxon Smith-Njibga has hardly played this season due to a hamstring injury. He once again didn’t play against Wisconsin.

Even without their best player, Ohio State continues to put up video game-like numbers. They did so on Saturday night against one of the best defenses in the country as well. Day is a big reason for the team’s success with his play calling and scheming.

He is able to get receivers wide open. A great example of this is Ohio State’s second touchdown against Wisconsin. On that play, the entire offense, including C.J. Stroud, rolled to the left. Cade Stover crossed the field to the right and was left alone wide open for an easy touchdown. That’s the type of scheming that wins games.

The Buckeyes have a better defense now so a national championship is a realistic goal. Ohio State won’t play their first road game of the year for a couple of weeks, so we’ll find out just how good they are then. But this team looks to once again be elite.
