After a slow start, the Ohio State offense started putting some things together and is on the board. The first drive ended with a three-and-out and a drop that would’ve led to some big yards by freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith. Smith would be called for not being set on the very next play pushing the Buckeyes even further back which led to a punt.
On the next Ohio State drive, things started to click with Will Howard finding receivers for nice little chunks. Emeka Egbuka probably should’ve had the first touchdown but the officials said the ball moved and was not secured. We weren’t so sure about that call, but it wouldn’t matter in the long run as just a few plays later Smith would get the Buckeyes on the board with the first touchdown of the young season.
Give it a watch below. It’s bound to be the first of many for the former No. 1 overall prospect in the land.
