2012 Ohio State Buckeyes Outlook

It doesn't get much worse on offense for Ohio State than it did last season. The Buckeyes ranked 115th out of 119 FBS teams in passing, at just 127 yards per game. That will not result in many wins. Insert new head coach Urban Meyer, who was brought in to turn this program around from the black eye that they currently have. There will be no chance for any championships this season, as the Buckeyes must serve out the sanctions from the blowout and cover up of various NCAA violations committed that led to the resignation of Jim Tressel.
