Hawai’i at Ohio State – Ohio Stadium – 3:30 PM Kickoff – Attendance: 107,145
FINAL SCORE: Ohio State – 38 Hawai’i – 0
There was a buzz in the air in Ohio Stadium during pregame, and for good reason. It was the home opener for the defending champions and the Buckeyes were coming off a big revenge victory over Virginia Tech. The alumni band was present as were freshman who were attending their first game in The Shoe as students. Add to that the 41-point spread for the number one team in the country and the reason for the excitement becomes obvious.
