Welcome back. I hope your offseason was bearable. Ohio State opened the season with a 45-21 win over Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlantic yesterday. It was good at the beginning, then it was not as good.
Let's debrief.
The Short Story
Ohio State opened this season in incredible fashion. The Buckeyes scored 28 points in the first quarter, behind a Justin Fields 51-yard touchdown run and three touchdown passes (to Binjimen Victor, Chris Olave, and Jeremy Ruckert).
The Buckeyes offense was then very sluggish, punting five times and fumbling twice before scoring late in the third quarter on another pass from Fields to Ruckert.
