Ohio State’s 145-75 Playoff Run: A Statistical Triumph

Ohio State’s football team, after a devastating loss to Michigan, capitalized on the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff format. They outscored their four postseason opponents by a combined score of 145-75, culminating in a 34-23 victory over Notre Dame for their seventh national championship. The Buckeyes, seeded No. 8, showcased resilience and talent, with quarterback Will Howard setting a record with 13 straight completions to start the national championship game. Ohio State’s offensive line was pivotal, allowing virtually no pressure on Howard and opening huge holes for running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. The team’s depth and player retention were crucial, with 19 players who signed with Ohio State starting and contributing over 520 starts combined. This season’s success story is built on a foundation of selflessness and strategic player development, proving that Ohio State can indeed rise to greatness even after facing significant adversity.
