Early Nerves Turned into a Celebration As Ohio State Buried Michigan State Saturday Evening

Every week, Eleven Warriors will dive into the mentions of Ohio State's coaches and players to bring you the #HotTakes and ramblings of Buckeye Nation. This week, we look back at the slow start and strong finish of Ohio State's 34-10 win over Michigan State.

Ohio State's toughest test to date wasn't all that tough.

There were some early speed bumps, of course. The Buckeye offense met its stiffest resistance of the season, netting a season-low 16 yards in the first quarter. The Spartans got to Justin Fields two times on the game's first three drives, and Ohio State led just 3-0 despite having two possessions inside Michigan State's 30-yard line.
