Ohio State Takes Massive Strides in Run Blocking and Dominates Western Michigan, C.J. Hicks Passed By Arvell Reese on LB Depth Chart

There’s an argument to be made for every single Ohio State starter being in the Stock Up section of this week's stock report.

The Buckeyes slaughtered Western Michigan 56-0 and looked like every bit of the national championship contender they were touted to be entering 2024. The defense posted its first shutout since 2019. The offense answered questions about its running game with a 273-yard rushing performance.

Name a position group for Ohio State, it excelled against the Broncos, plain and simple. A special teams hiccup or two will be thrown on film and coaches are always going to look for fine details to improve on, but the Buckeyes’ investments are having fantastic returns two weeks into the college football season.
