You can forgive Ohio State for starting Week 1 a little flat. A Thursday game, a conference opponent, a new offensive coordinator—all possible ingredients in an uninspired start to the preseason No. 2 team in college football.
But Week 1 is behind us, and we've gotten a taste of the kind of haymakers that college football's other premier teams can throw. The Buckeyes have to face one of those heavyweights, Oklahoma, this Saturday in Columbus.
The guy who might make all the difference in this bout? Week 1's first half goat and second half hero.
