Inside the Box Score — Penn State at Ohio State
Here are some interesting things from Saturday’s box score against Penn State.
Success Rate
A successful play is defined as follows:
1st Down: Gain 50% or more of yards needed to convert.
2nd Down: Gain 70% or more of the yards needed to convert.
3rd Down: Gain 100% or more of the yards needed to convert.
4th Down: Gain 100% or more of the yards needed to convert.
For Ohio State
1st Down Plays 37, Successful plays 21, Success Rate 56.8%
2nd Down Plays 28, Successful Plays 16, Success Rate 57.1%
3rd Down Plays 12, Successful Plays 5, Success Rate 41.7%
4th Down Plays 1, Successful Plays 0, Success Rate 0
For the game 78 offensive plays, 42 successful plays, 53.8% Success Rate. (Prior to PSU, our offensive success rate was 57.1%)
For Penn State
1st Down Plays 27, Successful Plays 6, Success Rate 22.2%
2nd Down Plays 21, Successful Plays 7, Success Rate 33.3%
3rd Down Plays 15, Successful Plays 7, Success Rate 46.7%
4th Down Plays 1, Successful Plays 0, Success Rate 0%
For the game: 64 Offensive plays, 20 Successful Plays 31.3% Success Rate. (Prior to Saturday, Our defense had held opponents to a 33.4% success rate)
The points allowed measure overshadows how good our defensive performance was on Saturday. Penn State had very limited success on offense. The Silver bullets did a masterful job on first and second down making it tough on the Lion offense. Of Penn State’s 15 third-down plays, 5 were 3rd and 4 or less. nine of Penn State’s third down plays were 3rd and 10 or longer, of which they converted 3.
Efficiency and Explosiveness
There are two ways to measure efficiency of an offense, yards per play and the percentage of available yards.
Ohio State YPP 6.78
Penn State YPP 4.42
Pct of Available Yards
Ohio State 57.7%
Penn State 36.5%
This reinforces just how strong the outing was for the Buckeyes.

A Look Inside The New Play That Saved The Buckeyes’ Season
Football plays are generally identified by a series of letters, numbers and seemingly random words, but a small handful grow beyond that into legend and earn more memorable names. King Right 64 Y Shallow Swap is one of the greatest OSU plays this century. You may remember is as “Holy Buckeye.”
A basic outside zone play in New Orleans went “85 Yards Through The Heart Of The South.”
After Saturday’s 39-38 win over #2 Penn State, enterprising Columbus T-shirt companies may want to work on a snappy nickname for 8-17 Y seam.
With the Buckeyes trailing 38-33, the clock running under two minutes and the ball at the Penn State 16, that play went from looking like measurements for a particularly uncomfortable pair of pants to a season-saving touchdown.
J.T. Barrett took the snap. Terry McLaurin settled down in the flat, drawing one defender. K.J. Hill raced up the numbers, attracting the attention of a safety, who had to decide whether to go with Hill or tight end Marcus Baugh, who was sprinting up the seam, just a couple yards inside Hill. The safety chose to go with Hill. The other safety was worried about Binjiman Victor on the wide side of the field, and ran the other way.
A linebacker dropped into coverage, but Baugh raced past him and turned to look for the ball as he passed the 5 yard line. Barrett read the defense, realized Baugh was open, and threw it just over the outstretched arms of that PSU linebacker and into Baugh’s hands.
The Buckeyes had their first lead of the day with just 1:48 left in the game. Game saved. Big Ten title hopes saved. Playoff dreams alive.
“I saw the linebacker, I think it was 43, I was, like, J, just put it over the linebacker and we score,” said Barrett after the game.

Legend
These really are gold. It’s incredibly easy to poke fun of the idiot in the room especially when they call out JTB as the “worst passer in the B1G”...do they not realize he has nearly every passing/offensive record in the history of the conference?
Truly amazing how naive and condescending those cultist fucks really are. And wtf is with the manatees?..is that some giddy little thing they get into when their team is winning? It’s like they’re whistling in the dark because they inevitably know the collapse is coming.

Scarlet and Gray replay: A second glance at Ohio State shocking Penn State, 39-38
Few things are more enjoyable than the chance to be inside a college football stadium on game day. Especially at Ohio Stadium.
The pageantry of college football is unmatched in American sports. Up close, it’s awe-inspiring — especially watching it from the sideline, a way that most folks only dream about. I’m really fortunate that I get to do that every weekend.
When you’re watching from the sideline, though, there are things you’re sure to miss. That’s why it’s important to get home and watch the game again from the couch. With a nice, cold beverage.
I’m doing that now. Taking a few hours for Scarlet and Gray replay, seeing things that might have been missed at first glance during Ohio State’s unbelievable 39-38 comeback win over Penn State on Saturday.
Here are my thoughts from this second glance of the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions.
Penn State did not belong on the field with Ohio State
I know that Penn State came into the game against Ohio State ranked higher than the Buckeyes, and believe that was reasonable based on the Nittany Lions’ superstars, game outcomes, rising confidence and the way they finished last year.
But if you take away Ohio State’s self-mutilation, you can clearly see that — at least on Saturday — Penn State did not belong on the same field as the Buckeyes.
That shouldn’t be too much of a surprise really, because that was the case a year ago in Happy Valley as well. Anyone who watched the game objectively had to leave it feeling the same way. Yes, Penn State is on its way to becoming a pretty good football team, but the Buckeyes, despite repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot with unforced errors, showed just why they’re in the upper echelon that allprograms are trying to reach.
Football is pretty crazy because it’s clear that on any given day, anything can happen, but what happened during this game was simple: Ohio State spotted Penn State 21 first-half points and dealt with some serious inconsistencies in officiating, and still found a way to beat a very good team.
The Slobs are almost ready
If we’re looking at that first subheading in a more micro sense, the first place to look are the lines, because that’s where Ohio State truly separated itself. The Buckeyes offensive line – The Slobs – weren’t immune from the “shooting themselves in the foot” stuff, as 4 false start flags and a drive-killing third-quarter hold will attest. When they weren’t being flagged, though, they were dominating a Penn State defense that was superlative-laden before kickoff Saturday.
You likely missed it, but the size of the brace on Demetrius Knox’s right knee on Saturday was something I’ve never seen before. Clearly he was/is playing through some pain. I know all the linemen wear braces as precautionary measures, but trust me when I tell you his was more than that.
Isaiah Prince, who was beaten like a drum in the game last year at Penn State, wasn’t perfect, but he was leaps and bounds better than in 2016 and is continuing to improve. He is a major part of how far the Buckeyes can go this year, as is Knox. If the right side of the line — with continuity already damaged with the loss of Branden Bowen — can take that performance and expand from it, watch out.
The numbers the Buckeyes offense has put up since the Oklahoma game is staggering, both on the ground and in the air. The line is a major part of that resurgence, and it’s only getting better. Greg Studrawa deserves some credit, as does Billy Price and Jamarco Jones.

Only thing after the fact that's bothering me about this game is I've now heard multiple Ohio State media folks saying they don't think PED was any good on defense... hu? Why can't we just give our guys credit? Why can't it be "we're just that good"?
That will be the best secondary we play unless we make the playoffs and get Bama/Clemson. Also their LB's probably feature 1 of the better backers we will face this year (along with Jewel and Bush), and while their DL isn't anything wonderful they certainly will be a top 5 DL we play this year.
