How bad was Ohio State’s game plan vs. Michigan? Where Chip Kelly went wrong and what’s next

New York Times  

I knew the film of Ohio State’s 13-10 loss to Michigan wasn’t going to get any better once I rewatched it on Sunday night, but I didn’t think it would get much worse. This was a poorly managed and called game, resulting in Ohio State averaging just 4.3 yards per play — the second-worst mark of Day’s five-year tenure behind last year’s Cotton Bowl loss. No, Day wasn’t the one on the field, but Ohio State’s kicking situation is a problem in part because of the poor coaching of former special teams coordinator Parker Fleming and Day. Much like the offensive line depth, Ohio State’s kicker situation already cost it one game.
