Week 1: Oregon State

Week 1 against Oregon State had its ups and downs. On the offensive side of the ball, Ohio State looked as good as they have in a while. With the absence of J.T Barrett at quarterback, it was speculated how the offense would do. However, sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins stepped up and threw 22-30, 313 yards, and 5 touchdowns. As well, the running backs have not missed a step as Senior Mike Weber ran for 186 yards and 3 touchdowns. However, the Ohio State defense needs some improvement. Allowing 2 touchdown runs of more than 75 yards, both the D-Line and the Secondary are to blame for allowing 392 yards and 31 points to a team that went 1-11 last season. With 4 out of 7 of the front seven being new starters, we hope that they will only get better from here.
