Ohio State prevailed 23-3 in Bloomington yesterday behind a stout defense and an offense trying to find its way.
It was a bit rough on the eyes at times but Ohio State kicked off the 2023 slate with a 23-3 win over Indiana yesterday in Bloomington, giving us all a chance to overreact to the ups and downs on offense combined with a dominant effort from Jim Knowles' defense.
Let's get to Five Things from yesterday's win before we flip the focus to next week's banger versus Youngstown State.Making his second career start, but first with major pressure to perform, Kyle McCord turned in an uneven performance that saw him complete 20-of-33 passes for 239 yards with an interception.
The drive in which he tossed an awful throw toward Marvin Harrison Jr. to prevent an easy touchdown and then ran the wrong way two plays later when he had a wide open lane to the end one on 3rd-and-4 was probably the most frustrating sequence of his day. The defensive front, anchored by Mike Hall Jr. and JT Tuimoloau, disrupted timing, created pressure, showed depth, made plays and funneled ball carriers back to the middle of the field.
All five of his catches resulted in first downs for Ohio State with a 24-yarder and 49-yarder as the highlights. He was flagged for holding yesterday after a missing an assignment and had a few other instances that he'd likely want to have back. Make no mistake, Ohio State is fortunate to have such a deep stable but I can't help but wonder if this by committee approach might hamper Henderson - the team's most talented and explosive back in my opinion.
