The Buckeye offensive line has been much more effective in pass protection. The Buckeyes have allowed the 4th-fewest sacks in the nation as of Week 11, with only 7 given up. The Buckeyes also sport a top-20 passing offense on the season, averaging just shy of 300 yards per game.
The Buckeyes will play host to the Indiana Hoosiers in Week 11.
