Only 56 Buckeyes (two fewer than against Indiana) saw playing time against Youngstown State as Devin Brown played five more snaps (but two fewer drives) than Kyle McCord.
In previous years, Ohio State’s non-conference games against non-Power 5 opponents have usually served as prime opportunities for players at the back of the Buckeyes’ depth chart to see playing time. That didn’t happen in this year’s non-conference opener against Youngstown State., the Buckeyes never completely pulled their starters on either side of the ball.
Ohio State had only 10 possessions on offense due to a combination of college football’s new clock rules and Youngstown State possessing the ball for 34 of the game’s 60 minutes, and the Buckeyes kept their starting offensive line in for the entire game while Kyle McCord and Devin Brown split reps at quarterback. Defensively, the Buckeyes played a bit deeper into their bench in the second half, though Lathan Ransom played every snap at safety for the second week in a row.
Overall, Ohio State actually played two fewer players against Youngstown State than it did in its season opener against Indiana as only 56 total Buckeyes saw action – 20 on offense, 26 on defense and 10 on special teams only. By comparison,
