Ohio State gave up a series of explosive plays in last month's loss to Michigan. Here's what led to the breakdowns and the lessons that remain.
Five of the Wolverines’ six touchdowns followed plays spanning 69, 75, 45, 75 and 85 yards.
When tight end Colston Loveland ran a wheel route early in the third quarter, resulting in a 45-yard touchdown, he got open after safety Lathan Ransom overplayed a break toward the sideline. “It could just be one gap,” safety Tanner McCalister said. “Somebody misses one gap, and it’s an explosive play. Even being a defensive back, somebody gets behind you, it’s going for 80. That’s the life we live as a defensive player. In that game, whether it was bad eyes, or a missed assignment, it just happened at the wrong time.”“After watching the film, we saw that,” McCalister said. “It wasn’t anything the opponent was doing. It was us. We beat ourselves.
