It’s time for Ohio State to get some actual adults in the room on offense

Ohio State failed to meet its key goals for the 2025 college football season, falling short in the Big Ten Championship against Indiana and exiting the College Football Playoff after a first-round loss to Miami. The team’s offensive struggles were a major factor in both defeats. Despite a strong defensive performance limiting Indiana to 13 points, Ohio State's offense scored only 10 points, with a missed 27-yard field goal exacerbating the loss. In the playoff against Miami, Ohio State's offense again faltered, managing just 14 points in a 24-14 defeat.

The offensive issues raise questions about the coaching staff's effectiveness. Since Ryan Day took over in 2019, he has primarily relied on himself for play-calling, with Chip Kelly being the only dedicated offensive coordinator during his tenure. Ohio State's offense, featuring top talents like wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, and quarterback Julian Sayin, underperformed due to what appeared to be coaching deficiencies.
