2. Special Teams
Special Teams, in general, are certainly a concern coming into this one.
BT Potter has been great at times, but has been extremely inconsistent in the place-kicking game. Will Spiers has also been inconsistent as a punter.
Derion Kendrick has dropped a couple of punts back as a punt returner.
In a game where the talent is fairly equal, the last thing you want is to make a mistake on special teams or miss a field goal.
Spiers giving Ohio State a short field on a shanked punt could be the difference in a touchdown. Potter missing a 33-yard field goal attempt could be the difference in the outcome. The special teams have to be efficient and solid here in the postseason.
