I have to think a major piece of Ohio State's strategy is to pound on the Hoosiers and wear them down. Going for it on 4th down on the 2 yard line or so was the right call imo. Just running it into the middle of the line was arrogant - "my guys will beat your guys." On at least one of those plays a fake into the line with a NOT DEEP pitch to a back running off tackle or outside the end - a bit of variety - would have been a good change of pace there. We did see that dance too often when Chip was here - and it was worse because our OLines weren't nearly as strong as Ohio State's
