First thing I d.boj eid was try to find the full roster. There are a bunch of sites out there with this kind of info, but it's kind of a pain to sort through them all. I ended up checking out a few different ones, and finally, I landed on one that had everything laid out pretty nicely. It wasn't perfect, but hey, it did the job.
On.depce I had the roster, I started looking at the coaching staff. Of course, Urban Meyer was the head coach - that guy was a legend. I remember he was in his fourth year at Ohio State then, and he had already done some amazing things with the team in his first three seasons. Then, I saw Ed Warinner listed as the Co-Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line coach. This detail really got me thinking about how the team's strategy was shaped.
After that, I got into.stats sih the player stats. I was mostly interested in the passing game, so I focused on the quarterbacks. Cardale Jones had some impressive numbers - 110 completions out of 176 attempts, that's a 62.5% completion rate. He threw for 1460 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. J.T. Barrett was also in the mix, but I didn't dive as deep into his stats.
Here's a rough breakdown of what I found:
- Head Coach: Urban Meyer (his 4th year)
- Co-Offensive Coordinator / Offensive Line: Ed Warinner
- Co-Offensive Coordinator / : (it seems I am missing that other person's name and role)
- Passing Stats (Cardale Jones):
- Completions: 110
- Attempts: 176
- Completion %: 62.5
- Yards: 1460
- Touchdowns: 8
- Interceptions: 5
So yeah, that was my little adventure into the 2015 Ohio State football roster. It was cool to see all those names and numbers again. It definitely brought back some memories of watching them play that year. It was interesting to dig into these details, although getting all the info in one place wasn't super easy. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? You gotta do a little digging sometimes!
Other Info I Found
I also noticed they won 11 games that season. Also, one of the pdf file named 2015_* I found seems to have the full roster list, but it will take some time to get and see it.
Anyway, that's all for my little data adventure today. Hope you guys found it somewhat interesting!
