Barrett passed for 152 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 74 yards for the Buckeyes (3-0), a team that lost 16 starters from last year’s squad and was playing in a hostile environment for the first time this season. Kendall Also said the Ohio State Defense is ” Very Basic” Kendall will find out if he gets in the game that Ohio State’s defense is anything but very basic. Mike Weber rushed for 123 yards on 18 carries and Curtis Samuel ran for 98 yards on 11 carries.
No. 15 Tennessee 28, OH 19: Joshua Dobbs threw two 20-yard touchdown passes to Josh Malone and ran for a third score for Tennessee (3-0).

Oklahoma has had a rough start to the 2016 season, losing to Houston and Ohio State to fall to 1-2 and ruining nearly all hope for a return trip to the College Football Playoff. Instead, a school-record home crowd of 87,979 watched the Sooners get dominated for most of the night.
Iowa just missed the cut with their upset loss to FCS power North Dakota State, Ole Miss suffered their second loss after blowing a 24-3 lead, Notre Dame saw their playoff hopes dashed, and USC continues to look lethargic.
With no title game to serve as a punctuator and no good non-conference wins to look back upon, the Big 12 champion – whoever it is – may have a tough time arguing for one of the final four spots. Head coach Bob Stoops still has his mind on some important achievements, though, including winning the Big 12. “They are trying the best they can. we just have to keep working at it”.

The Buckeyes were supposed to experience some growing pains after losing first-round National Football League draft picks at each level of their defense in defensive end Joey Bosa, linebacker Darron Lee and cornerback Eli Apple. And again, Ohio State scored. Devine Ozigbo also ran for 95 yards. In his absence, C Jonathan Alvarez shifted to guard and Erick Wren entered the game at C. The Buckeyes used all of their first-half timeouts by the time five minutes had expired in the first half.
The Buckeyes did not allow a single offensive touchdown this season until well into the first quarter Saturday.
