On the surface, Ohio State's 38-0 shutout win over Hawai'i yesterday afternoon in the Shoe left much to be desired.
Considering the wider perspective however, things aren't so bad as a host of big time programs (tbf, some are more like alleged big time programs) including Arizona State, Auburn and Missouri had major scares against lesser foes while Bert Bielema's SEC powerhouse lost to a MAC school a few days after taking shots at Ohio State's schedule. (Seems ironic Bert is from a place called Prophetstown, Illinois.)
Sitting at 2-0 and atop the college football landscape, the Buckeyes can now resume a more familiar every-Saturday game cadence starting with a visit from a very solid Northern Illinois squad set to invade Ohio Stadium six days from now.
