Ohio State’s stable of talented young thoroughbreds took to the road for the first time and again were forced to spend extra time in the starting gate. But nothing seems to bother these frisky Buckeyes, whose sole mission appears to be running free and fast. Ah, youth. Leaves are awarded on a zero-to-five basis.
Offense (4 leaves)
With youth comes mistakes, and Ohio State collected plenty of those in the form of false starts and delay-of-game penalties. But when the Buckeyes managed those simple fundamentals, they got to the edge and wreaked havoc. Noah Brown got the TD glory, with reason, but this was a potent mixture of power and speed.
