The Full List of Teams that Have Scored 50+ in the last 30 years

1995 Nebraska
2005 Texas
2008 Oklahoma
2012 Louisiana Tech
2013 Florida State
2013 Baylor

That's the whole list. Not one of those teams played in the Big Ten or the SEC (leagues with any reputation for defense).

It is a rare feat; rare to the point that one could argue it hasn't been done in the B1G in modern football history. While I would not be surprised if the 2024 silver bullets were historically good, the 2024 offense has a few too many WHAT IFs standing between them and "historic", however you define that word.

QB would have to be CJ Stroud and even then I doubt we are scoring 50. However maybe the defense is so good we wear opposing defenses out because they’re on the field so much?

that rule change is going to make it insanely hard, I’d rather just lead the country in points per possession and highest rate of first downs per possession and that’ll basically ensure we are going to be in the top 5 in scoring which will always be enough.

Could have sworn 05' SC was also on that list...?

edit: They checked in at 49.08pgg.

Less than a point off. Still, that was an absurd year.

You youngsters
I remember Oklahoma and Nebraska used to average what seemed like 75 a game 100 yrs ago...
When they played each other, they must have agreed to never let their defenses go onto the field
Scoreboards looked like pinball machine action

Assessing the current state of the Ohio State football program's tight end room​

One of the last remaining question marks for Ohio State's roster is how the tight end room is going to look this fall.

The Ohio State football team has one of the best rosters in the entire country heading into the 2024-25 season. Most experts consider the Buckeyes to be among the National Championship favorites with a roster that has very few holes and question marks left to be answered. One of those few remaining questions marks is who the starting tight end will be and how the depth chart will fill in afterward.

The departure of Cade Stover to the NFL means Ohio State is going to have a new starter at tight end for the first time in two years. Now that spring football is over it appears that the main candidates to take over for Stover will be Gee Scott Jr., Will Kacmarek and Jelani Thurman.

Gee Scott Jr.'s career at Ohio State has been somewhat of a roller coaster. He was a four-star recruit out of high school as a wide receiver before transitioning to tight end after his freshman year. His playing time has been inconsistent behind Stover as he has only totaled 20 catches for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns to this point in his career.

That being said, it appears he has taken on more of a leadership role heading into his final year. Taking on that role, coupled with an improvement in blocking and a lack of other viable options, should at the very least lead to major playing time for the fifth year senior.

A lack of depth at the tight end position heading into the offseason led Ohio State to look to the transfer portal to get some help. That came by way of Will Kacmarek, who didn't have to travel far from Ohio University to find his new home.

Kacmarek is a 6-6, 260-pound senior who has two years of eligibility left after spending three years at Ohio University. For his career, Will has hauled in 42 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns. Statistically speaking, Kacmarek seems to have the edge over Scott Jr. in the passing game. He will certainly be sharing time with Scott Jr. and might even become the main option once he becomes more comfortable with the offense over the summer.

A player that most Ohio State fans have been hoping to find his way to reach his perceived potential is a sophomore Jelani Thurman. Thurman, 6-6 and 258 pounds came to Ohio State with high hopes after being one of the top tight-end recruits in the 2023 recruiting class.
