Kyle McCord threw for two touchdowns and 212 yards in the victory.
Ohio State improved to 11-0 overall and 8-0 in the Big Ten with next Saturday looming as the trip to Michigan with the Big Ten title on the line finally arrives.
Olentangy Offerings
1) First, I wanted to mention missing last week's win over Michigan State.
I started it after the game but didn't finish it and discovered much later in the week that I had yet to.
2) Ohio State led only 13-0 at halftime and while the thirteen against the Gophers may have well been 130, it did make the offense concerns stick around for a while.
3) TreVeyon Henderson has gotten his share of criticism in his Columbus tenure but since his return from injury, there can be no doubt of his importance to the offense.
Henderson may never be a back that grinds it out and moves the chains, but if you prefer a back capable of going the distance with any carry, Henderson might be as good as you'll see in college football.
4) Kyle McCord didn't make mistakes but he didn't install any confidence either in a thirteen-point first half.
McCord missed some receivers and hopefully, he will alleviate any concerns next week.
5) Marvin Harrison Jr. did catch a touchdown pass but finished with only three catches for thirty yards.
I'd say his Heisman hopes took a blow but I still think a huge game vs Michigan might win it for him.
6) Jack Sawyer broke out in the win as he finished with a strip sack, three tackles for loss, and three more solos as well.
Ohio State has been waiting for Sawyer to show his promised results, he may be showing them just in time.
7) Now it's on to Michigan and everything is on the line.
I am hoping to do a preview later this week.
