I found it a very entertaining game, but I tuned in too late to hear the explanation of what happened to the Utah secondary.  It sounded as if injuries (or COVID?) had depleted it so much that they were starting a running back there?  Ohio State's excellent receivers and QB simply made mincemeat out of the Utah secondary--to use a Christmas metaphor.  But it also sounded as if Ohio State had lost a bunch of starters.  In any case, the teams that were on the field were excellent on offense and poor on defense, and it showed.  Makes it fun for people who like a lot of offense.

True.  The Stroud to Smith-Njigba connection was poetry in motion.  But with better D-backs, a good portion of those yards would not have happened.

…or a better scheme.  Utah did a poor job of defending the middle of the secondary.  Combine that with a non-existent pass rush and you have a recipe for disaster.
