After sitting idle for eight months, Ohio Stadium finally saw some gridiron action today. Hawaii traveled over nine thousand miles for the opportunity to play the Buckeyes, and gave Ohio State a surprisingly challenging dogfight for it. The Buckeyes only managed to pull away in the final quarter when they fully gained control of both sides of the ball, finishing the game with a respectable 38-0 win.
Both Cardale Jones and JT Barrett saw time at the QB position with Jones going 12 for 18 for 111 yards, and Barrett going 8 for 15 for 70 yards. Ezekiel Elliott had the biggest day for the Buckeyes, carrying the ball 27 times for 101 yards and 3 touchdowns.
