Even after seven weeks, Ryan Day doesn't feel that Ohio State’s rushing issues are unfixable. But time is running out to solve a 'combination' of issues.
In two of the Buckeyes’ last three games, they’ve averaged less than two yards per carry running the football. Answers to how to improve those types of figures have been the same for two months this year – it’s never any one thing, the Buckeyes need better execution and so on and so forth.
“Yeah, I do , I do,” Day said. “It’s a valid question. I think there have been signs of that. We’re going to keep pushing. Getting a couple of guys back could help as well, help us become more explosive. So we keep pushing. We believe we can do it and I know we can.” “There’s some really great snaps of film out there, and you’re seeing finish, you’re seeing pad level, you’re seeing really high-end play,” Day said. “It just needs to be a little bit more consistent. He knows that, and it’s not just him. That’s why when someone asked, ‘Are these fixable?’ I believe they are.”
Day doesn’t feel many of the problems in the run game have stemmed from playcalling, and he reiterated that stance after watching the film against the Nittany Lions. “He’s very athletic,” Day said. “He’s younger, but he is athletic. So we’re going to look to see if we can possibly get him in that role. See how the week goes.”from lead running back TreVeyon Henderson, whose 6.7 yards per carry this year are 2.4 ahead of Chip Trayanum and 3.5 ahead of Williams, his two primary backups. Henderson has 295 rushing yards and five touchdowns in four games this season.
