C.J. Stroud lit up Michigan State with six touchdown passes as Ohio State easily handled the Spartans, 49-20, in East Lansing.
Playing without offensive weapons Miyan Williams and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and losing TreVeyon Henderson early in the second half, Ryan Day's squad had zero trouble with Mel Tucker's program, blitzing the Spartans, 49-20, in East Lansing.
The Buckeyes racked up 429 yards on 11 yards per play in the first half and only faced four third down snaps in 39 total plays. Anyway, I commend Day for making blowouts fun for the viewers and I'm sure it's fun as hell to be a player in this offense, whether as a lineman or a skill guy. The creativity is wild especially when you consider he likely still has a lot of stuff in his bag yet to be unveiled.As fun as this offense is and as improved as the defense appears to be, it still feels like cornerback play could be real dicey against a legit passing attack.
With the defensive line and linebackers showing so much improvement over last season, Jim Knowles and company really need the corners to tighten up to put this defense over the top.After completing just 13-of-22 passes against Rutgers with two touchdowns and a pick, and connecting on 'just' 61.2% of his throws over the last two games, quarterback C.J. Stroud was back to his old self versus the Spartans.
Turned out, his presence was much-needed as rumors came to reality with Miyan Williams unavailable versus the Spartans.
