There’s one metric that jumps off the stat sheet at Ryan Day more negatively than any other for his offense through two weeks.
Tasked with 23 third-down attempts on offense this season, Ohio State has moved the chains a mere seven times. That’s a 30.43 percent conversion rate that is tied for 114th in college football.
“We’ve found ourselves this year so far in some 3rd-and-2s and 3rd-and-3s that we haven’t converted on offense,” Day said. “We’ve got to get it fixed. We’ve got to do a better job of that. We’ve just been in some situations where we haven’t executed very well.
