Record-Setting 42-Point Second Quarter Leads Ohio State to 76-5 Victory over Miami (Ohio) in Final Non-Conference Game of the Year

For one quarter, Miami (Ohio) was able to stay competitive with Ohio State.

In the second quarter, it became clear who the better team – the much, much better team – was on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Ohio State scored touchdowns on all six of its second-quarter possessions for a 42-0 second quarter that led the Buckeyes to a 76-5 win over Miami in their final non-conference game of the regular season on Saturday.

The game got off to a slow start for the Buckeyes. After Miami downed its punt at the 2-yard line following its opening possession of the game, Justin Fields had the ball stripped out of his hands by RedHawks linebacker Myles Reid, and the ball rolled through the back of the end zone for a safety, making Miami the first team all season to take a lead against the Buckeyes.
