No. 4 Ohio State left no doubt about its goals and what it is capable of achieving this season as it crushed No. 7 Michigan State in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday 56-7. The Buckeyes jumped out to an early lead, scoring on their first seven possessions of the day to lead 49-0 at halftime.
That didn’t stop Ohio State’s stars from putting up eye-popping numbers. Quarterback C.J. Stroud had the best game of his young career, completing 32 of 35 passes for 432 yards and six touchdowns. Those six scores in the first half tied a program record … for an entire game. He was replaced by backup Kyle McCord in the third quarter. Wide receiver Chris Olave has 140 yards and two TDs, setting a career scoring record in the process, while Garrett Wilson has 126 yards and two TDs with Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 105 yards and a TD.
