No. 9 Ohio State looks like a contender in crushing Nebraska for second straight year
In theory it should be the kind of spectacle only college football can produce. Ohio State and Nebraska, two programs that have been proud about their brand of football for more than a century, playing on the same field under the Big Ten banner in a primetime broadcast. What could be better?
The games, it turns out. The games could be a lot better.
The first edition was great. Ohio State went to Lincoln for the first time ever in Nebraska’s first Big Ten season, and the Huskers won, 34-27. They’ve played three times since, and none of them were close. The Buckeyes cruised 63-38 in 2012, demolished the Huskers 62-3 last season and did the same again on Saturday night, as No. 9 Ohio State had its way with overmatched Nebraska, 56-14 in Lincoln.
Ohio State scored touchdowns on its first eight drives and did not punt the entire night. J.T. Barrett posted one of the best statistical nights of his lengthy career, hitting a video game-like 27-of-33 passes for 325 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing 10 times for 48 yards and two more scores. J.K. Dobbins added 12 carries for a game-high 106 yards and a long touchdown run of his own, and Mike Weber poured in 82 yards on 18 carries.
Overall, Ohio State threw for 354 yards on 39 attempts and rushed 47 times for 279 yards, adding up to 633 yards on 7.36 yards per play with 41 first downs and 10 third-down conversions on 13 attempts.
Meanwhile, the Buckeyes’ defense held Nebraska scoreless in the first half for the second time this season — that feat had been accomplished once in the previous 20 years — and limited Nebraska to 44 yards on 16 carries. Nebraska threw the ball nearly every play because it knew it had no chance of running on Ohio State, but it had no chance of throwing on Ohio State, either. Tanner Lee completed 23-of-38 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but the lion’s share of those yards came after the Huskers were already down 42 points.

Yea JT and the O was just awesome... Great pass protection, receivers running wide open and JT putting every pass on the mark.
But it's just another pretty meaningless game, hell the Red Wolves (Ark. State) had over 400 yards passing against Corn.
Maybe things have changed, but we won't know for another 2 weeks...

Me too, I won me a little money today on a parlay :cheers: Bet against the spread in the Indiana/scUM game and Wisconsin/Purdue game, then took the spread on the Buckeyes. Damn good day.
But we looked fantastic tonight. They scored points in garbage time that I am not worried about, but we were just flat out dominant in almost every respect. The only negative that really irked me is wtf we left starters in for so long. I truly hope Holmes and Jamarco Jones are alright because they both got injured at a time neither should have still been playing imo (particularly Jamarco). Then you have Campbell. We truly took care of business, but I really hope those 3 are healthy after a bye week because we are going to need them.
But no more negative Nancy from me, damn impressive game overall and I will give more input after watching the replay. But our defense was overwhelming and JT played a HELL of a game...really excited to see him firing on all cylinders, love to see him have this success.
