Ryan Day's increased role in offensive game plan has led to potent passing attack.

The Ohio State coach cedes play-calling duties for the first time since joining the Buckeyes prior to the 2017 campaign.

He'd built his reputation as a shrewd designer of game plans, the kind of coach who loved matching wits with the opposition.

Only 11.1% of Ohio State quarterback Howard 's passes traveled at least 20 yards downfield during the regular season .

His percentage of deep throws increased to 17.2% against Tennessee and 15.4% against Oregon .

The rate at which Howard has incorporated deep passes during this year 's playoff is more aligned with the numbers of previous Ohio State quarterbacks.

Ohio State is the best team left in the College Football Playoff — and it's not close.

Texas ' defense entered the Cotton Bowl ranked third nationally against the pass ( 166.1 yards per game) and third overall ( 277.7 yards ) Ohio State's passing game is more potent, and more explosive, than at any point this season .
