The game at hand
Short-attention-span synopsis: Defense to the rescue. Cardale starts. J.T. relieves. Cardale re-relieves.
Pregame buzz: It was supposed to be a day at the beach, but while the Buckeyes didn’t get burned, at times they stumbled like a child with sand in his eyes.
The $65 question: Under Ohio State’s tiered pricing system, the Hawaii game cost less than the standard $79 rate. Maybe that’s why the Buckeyes’ rip-roaring offense kept quiet for the first half; you get what you pay for.
