Ohio State is feeling the impact of college football's new clock rules more than other teams, running 3.9 fewer plays per game so far this season compared to the national average of 1.4.
Spread across both teams that's 2.8 less plays per game total, though that excludes special teams plays.After running 67.4 plays per contest in 2022, the Buckeyes have run a combined 127 plays in their first two games of 2023, an average of 63.5 per game. That's 3.9 fewer, a deviation of 2.5 from the play decrease across the country.
The game plans of Indiana and Youngstown State were a big reason Ohio State has seen a sharper decrease in plays per game so far. The Hoosiers came out with an unexpected triple-option attack that served to run plenty of clock, while the Penguins made use of every bit of play clock possible to take the air out the football and keep the Buckeyes' offense off the field, Day said.
"I felt like, maybe, that would be their game plan but I didn't know that they would huddle and milk it all the way down to inside 10 seconds and then try to run it on third down just to keep the clock going," Day said after the Youngstown State game Saturday."But they did, and that's smart on their end. Maybe some teams are going to do that more and more."
Day and company hope to get a few more opportunities on offense this week against Western Kentucky's air raid attack, which could reverse the trend of Ohio State running fewer plays per game. "This week, you're going to see a team that throws the ball a lot more, plays faster," Day said Tuesday."We'll just take it on a week-to-week basis. The bottom line is, if we get off the field or we convert on third downs then we're moving more efficiently, and that's got to be the goal."
