Ohio State’s passing offense wasn’t as precise as it usually is. Injuries to Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate were noticed, particularly in the second half. The good news is that other players stepped up, especially in the running game.
Bo Jackson had his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season and of his young career. Jackson, James Peoples, and Isaiah West all ran for touchdowns. Bryson Rodgers made his first touchdown catch of his career. The Buckeyes had their best special teams game in I don’t know when. It all still added up for a 48-10 victory.
