Made Ohio State work for the win.

Each week the offense sets limits for how many yards, points, first downs, etc. that they want to reach but still win.

For the bowl game it was MAXIMUM
500 yards total offense.
31 points
375 yards passing, with no WR having more than 120 yards.

It was the last game of the year. They were really hoping for it to be like a vacation to Cali.

So there are quite a few players mad that they had historically prolific offense on Saturday. It was just too much work.
