Ohio State evaluates performance after first four games of the season

Ohio State has faced a mixed bag of outcomes in its first four games, with both positive and negative aspects identified by analysts. The Buckeyes are adjusting with 51 new roster additions this season, and defensive struggles have been noted, particularly in run defense and third-down stops. Offensively, while Ohio State ranks highly in passing and scoring offense, it has faced challenges in its rushing attack, currently ranked 76th nationally. This weekend, the team will face No. 14 Iowa, which boasts a strong defense, further testing their offensive scheme. The Buckeyes aim to solidify their identity as they navigate a demanding schedule ahead.
