If those guys get matched up on anybody but a cornerback, it could be a touchdown no matter where the Buckeyes are on the field.

College football has returned, and that means so have marching bands. The offensive line moved the pile all game, and that opened it up for the skill players to take over with speed.
Regardless the Buckeyes are considered to be a force to be reckoned with because of Meyer’s ability to “coach up” the talent that surrounds him.
Despite finishing the game strong, Barrett started off sloppy.
That day at noon, the Flanders native and 2014 Pope John High School SFlbgraduate is expected to start in the first NCAA Division I SFlbcollege football game of his career at wide receiver in the Ohio State Buckeyes’ season opener against Bowling Green.
Meyer started the day anxious about how his many inexperienced players would perform on the big stage. “We have a team that’s done what it’s needed to do to put itself in a position to go out and have a chance to win a game”.
“I know our whole team is excited for this game”.
“Mike Weber had a very good day”, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.
Buckeye running back Mike Weber says he and Curtis Samuel could end up like one of the best backfield duos in history.
“I learned from Peyton Manning, that pressure is something that you feel when you are not prepared”.
“I am so excited about how the Bowens, the Knoxes, the Burrells – those second-string guys providing depth is what I was really concerned with going through the summer”, Studrawa said.
We didn’t get to see much of the defense since they were on the field for 21 minutes, but what we did see was very promising.
“Having that experience of playing against Big Ten opponents has definitely been helpful as we’ve prepared”, Falcons’ quarterback James Knapke said.
Junior cornerback Gaeron Conley, linebacker Dante Booker and defensive end Tyquan Lewis will lead the new group of players looking to have an impact on the unit’s efforts.
Pass rush by the first team defense – both sacks were in garbage time, but congrats to Jalyn Holmes and Nick Bosa!
With Elliott gone to the Dallas Cowboys as a first-round draft pick, Meyer said he’s seeking more balance between the rushing and passing games. They did make the most of their opportunities, nonetheless.
Eight players scored touchdowns on offense as the Buckeyes (1-0) overpowered the Falcons in front of a crowd of 107,193 at sunny Ohio Stadium. The game is also airing as a live stream online.
By the traditional measure of explosiveness – a 20-yard pass – Bowling Green didn’t have a single explosive passing play against Ohio State’s secondary.
If Jordan starts, he’ll be the first true freshman to start for Ohio State since Orlando Pace in 1994.
To paraphrase, saying that being average is a bad word.
“I feel good like most Buckeyes do right now, because a lot of these kids touching the ball, I could see people going through their programs saying: Who was that again?”

Meyer said during the offseason that Samuel would be the team’s primary playmaker on offense, which some took as hyperbole.
