The Ohio State Buckeyes picked up where they left off. They capped last season with a dominant Cotton Bowl win against Pac-12 institution USC. This season, they opened it with another impressive win against a member of the Pac-12, the Oregon State Beavers.
For the West Coast version of OSU, it was a long day inside The Horseshoe. On top of playing three time zones away from what they are used to, they faced an Ohio State squad that was absolutely loaded for bear. As a matter of fact: The Bucks’ defensive line may have very well been bears, as they applied pressure to Beaver quarterbacks Jake Luton and Conor Blount often.
