Ohio State has taken its play to another level.
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes hosted No. 7 Michigan State on Saturday in one of the biggest games of the season. To call the outcome lopsided would be putting it lightly.
Ohio State absolutely demolished the Spartans, 56-7, to put itself another step closer to a Big Ten East title and a College Football Playoff berth.
In the win, the Buckeyes jumped out to a 49-0 halftime lead behind a red-hot performance from quarterback C.J. Stroud. In the first half alone, Stroud completed 29-of-31 passes for 393 yards and six touchdowns as MSU’s pass defense — which allows more passing yards per game than other team in the country — lived up to its reputation.
