Chip Kelly Accepts Blame for Ohio State Loss

Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly expressed regret over the team's offensive performance in their recent 13-10 loss to Michigan, acknowledging that the coaching staff failed to effectively utilize their playmakers. He cited the need for better game planning, particularly regarding the passing game, as star receiver Jeremiah Smith was underutilized. Kelly admitted that his team fell into a trap of over-reliance on the run, which proved ineffective against Michigan's defense. Looking ahead, Kelly emphasized the importance of adapting their strategy for the upcoming College Football Playoff game against Tennessee, where they must leverage their offensive talent more effectively. The Buckeyes are set to host the Volunteers in what marks the first-ever playoff game at Ohio Stadium. Kelly remains optimistic about making necessary adjustments to avoid repeating past mistakes.
