Well the game ran over so long that DirecTV only captured up through Zeke's second long TD jaunt so I wasn't able to chart all the plays for the game but through 3 quarters and change here's how our Buckeyes did.

Successs on first and second down is determined by getting half of the yards remaining for a new series.

We were 6 of 22 on first down for a 27% success rate
We were 8 of 17 on 2nd down for a 47% success rate
We were 3 of 12 on 3rd down for a 25% success rate

Those are some fairly putrid numbers for a team chasing a second national championsip.
1 for 7 throwing on first down
1 for 5 running on third down
2 of 7 running on second down

Yes I know I didn't get the whole 4th quarter - which means I missed a couple successful drives - but also didn't capture another Jalin fumble.
