[Applause] let's see if balard lets it land or gets a return and we're underway and it goes to bá at about the four yd line and he found a little Avenue yeah Ean was off sides on the kickoff wonder if they'll just tack it out to the end of the runner bring five Howard throws in and out of the hands of the intended receiver auka broken up nicely off a play fake Finley's going to run with it nice run out around the 28 and uhoh absolutely yeah got him with his back yeah but he was sliding you got to give the quarterback when he starts the his slide no reason to hit him like that after the play was over personal foul late hit defense with targeting number one 15 yd penalty the play is under fur the review after reviewing a play there was no incid no contact to the runner's head and neck area therefore there is no foul for targeting however the late hit will still be in forced goes under Center momentarily and now T just throws one out to the tight end n and Jake n's got a first down in case of a situation where one guy couldn't start and the other eyy played High snap again and now Bullock on the Run he's got a first down he's got more he buries his head first down high snap this one too high Bullock got to chase it down and cover it right well that's the third High snap in a row they moov their guard over to Center this time he got it there clean but here comes the Russian there it goes to Mal with his first sack of the Season that snaps high again bulock screen pass out in the flat breaking tackles Bobby golden got some of that back and he got it to the 31 yd line let's see if Garrison has something to say about it from 48 yds away yes he does have something to say about it the Zips take the lead out their opening possession even though they lost their starting quarterback they're down at 10 for the Bucky Howard has time fires a strike and that one is caught by Jeremiah Smith his first reception from the 37 Howard rolls to throw and a strike nice throw complete Uka with his first catch third down and one now throws on the run and throws a strike again this time Jeremiah Smith it's third down at six six-man Rush will Howard to the corner Smith got it touchdown his first and the first of the season for Ohio State he's got a manto man out to the outside right here bump and run they're bringing six he knows he's got a great athlete manto man B almost a back shoulder throw I mean that's one of those Ohio state 17 plays this will be the 13th for akan Here Comes The Blitz picked up and then not picked up yeah that was CJ Hicks that time they had him momentarily as Gary said will Howard has been hot five out of his last six here is trayon Henderson and there goes trayon Henderson a first down run healthy and able to play so that was good Tod did a great uh job during the week preparing for the two QB stuff in addition to the backup quarterback rooll fourth and five and they are going to go for it Howard throws wide side nice hit inmp complete tried nice play by Aman Greenwood and now he's trying to move Taj behind him pumps it to him and now fires sidearm and throws a strike and it's intercepted picked off by Denzel Burke boy I thought the receiver had it and Burke just snatched it awayan I mean it was a good throw it was a quick throw it was thrown very sharply Adrien Norton number 15 breaks out yeah stole the throne he took it out of his hands Y at the Acura 33 yd line Tron Henderson broke one tackle broke a second picks up 11 and another Buckeye first down flop over to the right of will Howard who rolls that way wanted to throw that way now comes back and fires to the end zone and out of bounds so Fielding from 40 and he's got it so Ohio state has to settle for three Jake new just just was in motion and set up on the left side Finley has to step away from pressure and can't get away from it and down he goes and this one's going to be Caleb DS a lot of experience they have been playing tough getting away from blocks a good start for them in this game think bu's got a first down on it quinan big opening off the left side and junkins goes for 12 or 13 Cleveland Heights this is the area third down and eight Blitz coming on Howard has time delivers a strike and that one's to Tate and Carell Tate's got a first down see that play and go he can do that too 16 yd pickup will Howard looking for more now he's going to deal it with his legs Howard will Howard down to the 10 yd line should be first and goal three wide outs to the left the play fake the throw on the slant is a strike to Jeremiah Smith touchdown Ohio State can't do anything about that aips n called it a strike nothing more needs to be said watch it coming from the top of the screen bit of traffic too and watch this [Music] throw man he almost stuck it in his face [Applause] mask sidearm throw complete broken tackle and finally they get something to the wide receiver that's Bobby Gold golden first down Zips right in this area great Blitzer Finley has to throw quick as there was pressure coming and he got the 5 yds he got six to Jordan Simmons bulock they're going to try this again this time they're going to try an option no he's going to keep it but he got it needed about a half yard and got about a yard and a half here they go Finley has to roll to his left it's going to be a tough throw and he goes out at the line of scrimmage and he is holding his ribs or his shoulder got Uka and Smith both to his left he wanted to go that way Blitz coming and he sidearms it to trayon Henderson better get on the ball that might be a fumble and Henderson does make that out they've also got hand signals for I can't hear or I got nothing here goes Judkins for the first time with a nice run pick up of about 12 or 13 50 more than that probably at least Howard airing it out got a man Smith has got it inside the five Jeremiah Smith making a name for himself and his first appearance in The Scarlet and gray coverage was there again coming across but can't find the ball receiver has a huge advantage and we can't throw he said balance is what he wanted most and quinan junkins I think got it across the line didn't he not they said such down touchdown Ohio State [Applause] [Music] Chip's going I like to play before that but I'll take that two yd touchdown run first year since 2018 Ryan day has not been calling the plays first he signed Bill O'Brien and he's going to take off quarterback draw and hit from behind and the ball is out and Ohio State's got it and it's Ransom down the sideline touchdown Ohio State lean Ransom on a scoop and score N I think it was hero canoe number 93 that stripped the ball just when you were talking about impact plays on defense and what the defensive coordinator was looking for he just got one he did and that popped it out and was scooped up and Ranson races to the he's got a convoy with him no [Applause] problem Bullock sidearms and got it to his tight end new this might be the biggest play of the day for the offense Jake n down the sideline before he's knocked out of bounds third and two and going to be a yard shy for Charles Kellum and the kick on the way got it two Nice Kicks by Garrison Smith is what we'll have for you all season long right here on CBS at 3:30 Eastern Time trayon Henderson in the clear picked up 12 on the swing pass his best year back in 21 almost 1300 yds rushing here he goes Henderson down the sideline and the toes out of bounds he's got another first down yards a game for a team that only won two games and Judkins has a first down and there's some of the smash by way of signals what they wanted here at second down and one at the four yd line they wanted peoples to score touchdown Ohio State and I tell you a lot of people talking about James people that he had did a great job and really grown on this staff some of the Ohio State observers have been comparing him with his speed to JK JK Dobbins in the pass you can see that burst right there TC to come back and win and that's what Ohio state has come back this year and now they're swarming the quarterback yeah quarter and ended up with 239 yds which at the time was no House State rushing record so that is uh first down Howard fires complete got it to Tate open field Tate's gone touchdown Buckey Carnell Tate and a third touchdown pass for will Howard this one from 34 yds nice easy little curl route again go down about 12 to 15 deliver the ball on time and good things will happen go down about 12 15 turn around boom now yards after catch and this is where these Elite athletes from Ohio State the akan players are good but these guys have more speed and he's going to flare oh he flared it right into the and it's intercepted picked off on the Fly running down is Gabe powers for another
