After eight long months of monotony and one of unnecessary excitement, the offseason finally concluded last week with the long-awaited kickoff of the 2018 season. Despite the recent drama off-the-field, Ohio State opened their campaign with a statement win over off-brand OSU, dominating the Beavers by putting 77 points on the board.
While Dwayne Haskins sparkled in his debut as a starter and Nick Bosa and Dre'Mont Jones produced like the potential first-round draft picks they are, the Buckeyes received huge performances from Mike Weber and Terry McLaurin as well. Additionally, a number of young players got their first playing time in Ohio Stadium as a pair of true freshman running backs found the end zone.
