00:00
The 8-9 matchup, a game perhaps we thought had the chance to be the closest,
00:05
in fact, was not at all. 42-17, Ohio State absolutely handles Tennessee,
00:12
covering as a seven-and-a-half point home favorite in Columbus. A total of 46-and-a-half,
00:17
the Buckeyes almost went over by themselves. Of course, the game did go over as well. Ohio State
00:24
DRS led 21 to zip at the end of the opening quarter. They scored on their opening three
00:30
offensive possessions, mixed in between two drives from the Volunteers offensively, where they went
00:36
three and out. It was all Ohio State on Saturday night to cap off our triple-header of CFP action.
00:44
Yeah, cold-weather game, fantastic atmosphere. Neyland Stadium North,
00:48
as they were trying to call it, where thousands of Volunteers fans were there,
00:52
and hey boy, that party was turned out quickly, 21 to nothing at the end of the first quarter.
00:56
And this is what's so maddening, you look at Ohio State, how really good and talented they are.
01:00
They go on the road early in the season and lose to Oregon by a point, it happens,
01:03
Oregon's the best team in the country. But the loss to Michigan, where your three touchdown
01:07
favorites and how bad they look, and then can turn it around and say, you know what,
01:11
let's just get back to playing winning football and winning football in style.
01:14
Like on a cold game against an SEC team that you figured the SEC team was going to run the
01:18
football along with you, both are going to play great defense, hopefully you can equal a victory
01:22
out. 42 points, which included your quarterback, Will Howard, 24 of 29 for 311 and two touchdowns,
01:28
again, in a cold-weather environment. Trayvon Henderson, 10 carries for 80 yards. You take a
01:33
look at Judkins, who also scored two touchdowns, so four combined touchdowns out of your starting
01:37
running backs. And then Jeremiah Smith, who might be the best wide receiver in the country,
01:41
when it's all said and done, when he leaves Ohio State, surefire top 10 draft pick in the NFL,
01:45
six for 103 and two touchdowns. When your stars are playing well, you're going to win football
01:49
games. The same couldn't be said for the volunteers who you knew wanted to come in,
01:53
play really good defense, and say Dylan Sampson might be the toughest tackle in the country.
01:58
Two carries, six yards, and an injury. It was over before it started, it felt like.
