OSU key: No red zone
Two straight shutouts have helped Ohio State in the national defensive rankings, but there’s one area in which the Buckeyes have struggled: Red zone defense.
The Buckeyes are one of 10 teams that have allowed scores on each of their opponents’ red zone possessions.
For Ohio State, that only includes five red zone possessions, although those drives that ended in four touchdowns and a field goal.
It could be worse, of course. Louisiana-Monroe has allowed scores on each of its opponents’ 16 red zone possessions. And the Buckeyes have clearly kept opponents from many strong drives if there have only been five in the red zone.
When the red zone comes, though, Ohio State needs to be stingier to stay impressive defensively.
