Gus Johnson began the broadcast on FOX by saying that a new era had arrived at Ohio State. In the first eight minutes of the game, everything seemed new — and revamped — from the Ohio State Buckeyes. Justin Fields was running and throwing touchdowns; the Buckeye defense was stifling FAU tight end Harrison Bryant; and on special teams, Demario McCall had a few instances were he was one or two blocks away from housing a return. When the final whistle blew inside Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes stifled the Florida Atlantic Owls, 45-21.
