The Buckeyes looked impressive two weeks in a row after jumping all over Rutgers from the very beginning. If you blinked, you missed 24 unanswered points in the opening 12 minutes of the game by Ohio State.

Starting Quarterback, C.J. Stroud came back from having a week off to nurse his aligning throwing shoulder. He looked poised in the pocket and took control of the offense. He finished the day completing 17 of 23 passes for 330 yards and five touchdowns. The veteran Wide Receiver Chris Olave got back to his normal self by catching 5 balls for a total of 119 yards and two scores. Those two touchdowns moved him into a fourth-place tie with NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter on Ohio State’s all-time receiving touchdown list.

The defense continued their dominating ways after some early-season struggles. They had only one bad play all game.  The Silver Bullets had a total had three interceptions and Freshman Cornerback Denzel Burke took one of them to the house for a Pick Six. Safety Ronnie Hickman continues to shine by leading the team in tackles and contributed another seven for the day. Defensive Tackle Tyleik Williams performed well and should be seeing more playing time after adding another sack to his resume.

Overall, the Buckeyes took control of the game earlier and coasted to an easy victory after halftime. The final score could have been much worse for the Scarlet Knights, 52-13. Ohio State will continue to build confidence as they welcome Maryland into the Horseshoe this Saturday.
