Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Akron Zips Full Game Highlights | NCAAF 2024 Week 1

Ohio State against the Zips of Aran from the mid America conference was happy I almost got to win them all here come the second rag Bucky in their 100 Jaden Ballard's got it teed up Dante Jackson has it teed up Jaden Ballard back waiting for the Bucky and it goes to B at about the four yd line and he found a little Avenue yeah at was offside kicking team that 5y penalty be added to the end of the kit shorts and now we got whistles Flags oh he went down late actually that he was to get in there bring five Howard throws in and out of the hands of the intended receiver Maguire to kick Buck the style who made a good catch on that one too and they're going to have to let this one bounce and get out of the way it's going to roll B around the 22 and a little scuffle at the end of the play off a play fake Finley's going to run with it nice run out around the 28 and uhoh going absolutely and Bing got with his back yeah but he was sliding you got to give the quarterback when he starts to his slide no reason to hit him like that after the play was over no inci 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 early flares it out in the flat Simmons Jordan Simmons nice spin got out to the 47 maybe the 48 Captain but now the first series it's already taj's game to play at this point so when I'm thinking is perhaps the medical goes under Center momentarily and now t just throws one out to the tight end new and Jake n's got a first down Joe Morehead crafted a show with a 12yd completion to his tight end and the first down and now he'll run it here yeah there we go with that theory well picked up three as we take a look one guy couldn't start in the other eyy played High snap again and now bulock on the Run he's got a first down he's got more he buries his head with a lot of experience is able to help him out first down high snap this one too high Bullock's got to chase it down and well that's the third Center in this game Tyler Williams is out they've had to switch around they move their guard over to Center this time he got it there clean but here comes the russan there it goes this time face B Shore and pretty easy allame and here he comes from the back side after a couple first downs that snaps high again Bullock screen pass out in the flat breaking tackle Bobby golden got some of that let's see if Garrison has something to say about it from 48 yd away yes he does have something to say about it Jaden Ballard Waits on Dante Jackson's kick this one off the side of his foot this might make the sideline nope he caught it on the Fly and it'll C from Old Miss in the back field with Will Howard first down at the 25 quinine on the play fake and the throw is incomer the veteran of their secondary second down and 10 Howard looks across the middle and it's broken up again incomplete intended Pro Howard has time fires a strike and that one is caught by actually had the lead seven to nothing so they have the lead here too three nothing first first down for the buck guys dunkins and only got about a yard nice job you know the question was we know will Howard can run he can run the quarterback keep can he feed the ball to these wide receivers you know see can too they're not just not sitting them in the pocket they're making this akan team defend the edges with the quarterback as well they're first play in akan territory and junkins got about a hard yard and the Zips in front second down and nine for the Buckey number 43 and now as a keeper by Howard to the lead block of jkin he falls near a first they had that running game going a little bit with JT Barrett okay I don't think he's in the Justin field speed or the third down and one as a quarterback keeper that was going to be close that was sneaky that's true first down Howard fires complete nice pitch and catch very smart guy second down at four and quinon Judkins oh nice penet line empty backfield Howards side steps the first man now throws on the run and throw on the field on the previous play was that the runner came down out of bounds therefore the pass was incomplete that ruling is under further review he might have got his whole forearm down Jean what do you think so far for the Buckeyes third down at six six-man Rush will Howard to the corner Smith got it touchdown B run they're bringing six knows he's got a great athlete manto man B almost a back shoulder throw I mean that's one of those if he comes to the bench Castle Barry waiting on the [Applause] kickoff and don't let that one go out of the back of the short passes and even though they had some penalties they capped off a 47 yd drive and 10 plays with Garrison Smith big workday impossible not to see this they just asked me to keep it quiet and you did a really good job yeah tight punch and now Bullock reverses field to throw see and you got two quarterbacks playing pretty good together here there's a little bootle off the hand off boom what is Finley nothing that's the problem when you're the other quarterback you go right now this will be the 13th for akan here comes a blitz picked up and then not picked up yeah that was CJ Hicks that time third down and 15 from their own 34 Finley plants his foot throws it out and that one's too far in front of Kell 10 seconds to go Avery book and he'll kick it with the left foot and this one goes out of bounds way up at the let's wait and see 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 pick up about 15 long season going you've got a lot of good football players that could be Stars you've got to continue to spread the ball and feed your stars at all yeah they rote him uh healthy and able to play so that was good Tod did a great uh job during the week preparing for the two QB St in addition to the backup quarterback Ro if you're going to play one-onone and play off 10 yards why not give it to him first down at the zip 30 plenty of time for Howard this time his line holds up now he's got to scramble backwards he's is going to get rid of this thing plenty of time good coverage straight ahead on the Run trayon picks up about nowhere for Henderson to go and watch the good tackle wrap him up wrap them pull them and then a clean up by your friends that time fish fish fish and McCoy two tackles fourth and five and they are going to go for it Howard throws wide side nice hit incomplete tried nice at the 25 yd line Finley on the give going to be a loss of a couple on the k by Jordan Simmon 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 very sharply Adrien Norton number 15 breaks out yeah stole the from him he took it out of his hands yep I start and making an impact as that gives it back to the Buckeyes at the acur 33 yd line trayon Henderson and broke one tackle broke a second picks up 11 and another Buckeye first down three wide outs to the right Judkins will 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 oh that's pulled down with one hand this time two guys have a shot at him one two neither one of them is able to get him throws it away get the field goal so Fielding from 40 and he's got it so Ohio state has to settle for three and we send from CBS our condolences AB terrible terrible [Applause] story Bobby Golden's going to let this go into the end zone half specifically on this drive though the defense has been out there a lot plays are starting to mount up against the defense I know you want to score in the gun Here Comes Blitz they're try to run through it and they will not be able to only about a yard gain as the Ohio State maybe they're tight end Jake new will 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 third sack of the day for the Buckey defense book only had a 25 y on the first attempts that one worked and that's going to take a great boun in got it at about the 19 had to go back 10 yds to get ahead of steam going forward and probably got about a 6yd return about a 20 yd play on it watch this play Boom he's on the 15 it could have gone down to the five 60yd punt seven yd return will return in a moment 41 quinan big opening off the left side and junkins goes for 12 13 at the 47 ydd line toss sweep junkins burries his head yardage for akan so far in this first half they're going to keep it on the ground this time they go wide Trion Henderson brought himself down second and three quick throw ibuku get a flag down as he's got the first down still going inside the 30 but let's see what the penalty Mark is about I think it was Cleveland Heights this is the area third down at eight Blitz coming on Howard has time delivers a strike and that one to Tate and Carell Tate's got a first down and go he can do that too 16 yd pickup will Howard looking for more now he's going to do it with his legs Howard will Howard down to the 10 yd line and watch this [Music] throw man he almost stuck it in his face mask extra point is up and good he's got that size that feel of a anything in the final 4 and A2 minutes of this quarter just to add illegal numbering there were two players numbered 22 on the kicking team that 5y penalty be added to Y off the bus hasn't been necessarily the case either although Here Comes one and that's going to be the Run option part as Bley gets about four want to play defensive Bley quick throw and that's a one said they deemed him ready to go and he's looked pretty good right here no cobweb so far and this is a knb shoulder throw it didn't get there either watch any the [Applause] watch that's complete little bit of an opening for Simmons short of the first down by 17-3 202 Taj bulock gets under Center they go with the play they were going to run and I don't know I think he got it just taj's under Center let him do it so we're at the two-minute timeout the question is whether he got the first down or not bu 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 the ball including [Applause] sacks Finley has to run for his life again throws on the run and nice throw but it's incomplete here comes a blitz Finley gets rid of in a hurry got it out complete and left side right here see if he doesn't just give away yes he undercut the receiver nice call by Jim no here they go Finley has to roll to his left going to be a tough throw and he goes out at the line of scrimmage Drive of the ball game so he's been tough to hang in there but now will Howard's got a chance deep out is too high incomplete got to move 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 Henderson does an angle Howard through it from rush off the edge that time really changed the play force will Howard out and obviously it was a lateral yep he was across I'd be going for it a big shift for Ohio State to that right side for him to kick it that way fair catch called for by roach at the 21 yd line so they've got one timeout St has three time out so you got to get it and a throw out in the flat pick up of about two for Jarvis rush and that might do it and just this akan has to love where they are they came to play man you bet they have to be proud if you're an acram you have to be proud of your football he just took a right cross from Ransom on that one sidearm throw he got hit got it out to Bullock I don't like the feel of Finley that's the Joe runs the the snap 5 yd penalty third downar sideline Camp empty Back Field except bulock was going to join the back field and now we got whistles in motion on in the back field now we got some confusion again a is called their first time out of the half and a whole lot of nothing going on but maybe something will happen after this timeout third down and a yard and I don't think so going to be fourth down and a half yard jordanon at your own 35 you're playing the number two team in the country you got four down in about a foot I think it'd be a bad message to your team that has a bunch of games left to say we're going to punt it Simmons this time he got it so they I thought this was a reasonable call a message to your team is these guys are good let's see if we can pick it up yep mosta using signals even with that addition this year and that's not going to work that number 12 down to his play much like the first series the swing pass out in the flat nice gain by Jordan Simmons out to the 40 [Music] first down at a time every time you make a first down you're takeing another three minutes off the clock inside Ty Williams that time just dusted his block and was [Applause] there this time s's trying to take it wide that's going nowhere T looking for a swing pass going to throw it a mile away he didn't get the look he wanted he didn't want to pick six pretty mellow crowd they're trying to warm it up right now on third down and 15 bulock sidearms it complete one broken tackle not the second one though for Bobby golden who goes out of bounds on the hook with that left foot got a pretty good punt this time inis at the five first guy missed inis on the punt return all the way out to about the 38 yd line good looking return again Daredevil goes back makes the play he's trying to show it but he looked on a half I wonder if I think it's all coming back yeah I think so and that's why he slapped his side hand signals for I can't hear or I got nothing here goes dunkins for the first time with a nice run pick up of about for 139 yds a game was their average they like about 50 more than that probably at least Howard airing it out got a man Smith has got it inside the five Jeremiah Smith can run and we can't throw he said balance is what he wanted most and qu John junkins I think got it across the line didn't he not they said touchdown touchdown Ohio State first year since 2018 Ryan day has not been calling the plays first he signed Bill O'Brien he signed at Boston College as a head coach called up his old head coach and said chip you want to help and he came quarter as Ohio State's going to run it out to a three touchdown lead with the extra point and it's up and good 24 to three arm pinned and he caught it again that's one of those plays where their guy is better than our guy right once the players prove themselves his removal was just after four practices a new record almost an interception there as Jarvis Rush had that one skip off his does today and he's going to take off quarterback draw un hit from behind and the ball is out Ohio State's got it and it's Ransom down the sideline touchdown Ohio State 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 end zone he's got a convoy with him no problem yeah this is an area they would love to be able to do this every game it won't be this easy but the edges CJ Hicks coming in Caleb down ready to go hopefully in the next [Music] game and there's Ransom making another [Music] tackle plus plays they only have five today here's Bullock trying to Scamper for a first down he's going to come up short and be third down bulock sidearms that got it to his tight end new this might be the biggest play of the day for the offense Jak n down the sideline before he's knocked out of bounds you have to play manto Man coverage stay with your keys both the corner and the safety get nosy up in the M scrimmage to stop the run nobody covers the tight end and a pick up of 29 well this isn't a one-score game anymore but it was for a good portion of the first half and Bullock broke a tackle got past the Umpire and now he goes down on his own and he's good spot on the offensive front Bullock let check in with Jenny third and two and going to be a yard shy for Charles Kellum so that RP off which was a 26 29 yd [Music] pickup and Ohio State will let this one go as well hits the end zone 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 29 on that one down to the 42 yd line and that's will Howard swing pass other way try stiff arm made one guy missed knocked out of bounds another positive play that's the one-w punch for Ohio State second down at [Music] four stopped up well by that aan defense def winshine got two out of that lot of and they gave up 43 touchdowns in 12 games that's not too good either so they had some stats that kind of fool you but when you give up touchdowns and you give up Red Zone scores that's part of their problem a year ago other than that they were pretty good they were 30 second okay you don't get a win but if you stay healthy that's a win play action it's a good penalty though yeah would have been a touchdown to abuka if they wanted here second down and one at the four yd line they wanted peoples to score touchdown Ohio state with his speed to JK JK Dobbins in the pass you can see that burst right there got a nice block from the tight end G Scott out on the corner and three and a half minutes extra point up and good so the Buckey started part of that last drive to get James peoples the four yd score now we're at 38 to6 yeah the Ohio State rolling in players St team and we go yeah but you should have seen them back in the day they were pretty good then too right quick throw out short game want to play football and they played really hard today they're just outmatched as everybody expected them to be but first half they made Ohio State earn everything oh State I think they took a look at what happened at Michigan when they recommitted after that loss to TCU to come back and win and that's what Ohio state has come back this year and now they're SC the quarterback yeah and and these are all let's win the Big 10 let's beat Michigan let's get a ring let's get a Natty whatever right it's going to be in at the 40 and he's got I thought he had some room but a nice job down there by roach to make the tackle well I'll tell you what uh what I really want him to think of is uh the fact that I played on some great teams at toio State University I want to think of my teammates opening up such a great honor and uh you know when I got out there it was outstanding it's something I'll never ever ever ever forie Griffin always talking team yep first down power fires complete got it to Tate open field Tate's gone touchdown Buckey go down about 12 15 turn around boom now yards after catch and this is where these Elite athletes from Ohio State the aan players are good but these took a coup minutes four plays it was nice AR has our blimp today giv us our shots and it is from [Applause] today yeah Iowa Penn State Oregon and Michigan that's more than all the other kind of contenders do the conference that's why they don't have one of those big name Point well Ryan's going to go to 57 and8 which is again you know two years ago in the deao national championship game they field goal away Archie you got it run the ball any time they want okay he weighs 240 lbs you know he runs as coach said 22 M an hour yeah they said everybody in our backfield quarterbacks included runs at least 22 mph they don't use 40 times anymore they tell you how many miles per hour they are nice play out in the flat by Germaine Matthews one of the backups get the guys behind them as Gary said itch into play and show what they can do another rugby putt by the left footer this guy wants the ball at the five yeah wants to return stuff and he's got another nice return better than good but another flag down so he's doing his 56 yd punts and a 27 yd return that we think is coming back return holding return team number 22 half the distance to the goal from the spot of the foul first down time out on the field it's like that next week no not for long anyway and that means we've got the number two quarterback dein Brown in at the controls number 33 they've got the number one offensive line still in the game for him though and peoples who scored a touchdown here 25th straight season opening win for Ohio State got a flag down peoples only a couple for James and it was CJ nley who's not giving up it's you know call it a 3 three5 or call it a 4-2 I think it's basically a 4-2 peop again had almost 2 go home Happy anytime score a touchdown and then get to play a lot and here he goes almost broke through there but lost the ball at the end but Williams Dixon now and at the tail back spot here's a play fake de brown is going to air it long man out there no flag yet there's not going to be one third and six Deon Brown throws the out too far out in front of Ballard again and it's Fourth Down fourth down here he could feel the TV cameras coming out yeah there's pressure and fair catch taken around the 23 Y Line have that good chili uh cooking right outside our trucks I'll see you next Saturday in the pre game can't wait to go back really hope we get to visit all those friends we had back there yep so we're down to a third quarterback Braden ragal and he's going to flare oh he flared it right into the and it's intercepted picked off on the Fly the play G powers of the pick six nice job yeah nice go up and reach it at the High Point skim off the helmet of the Ohio State defensive end yep edrick Houston got that's a way to use your head edri exactly lowers great concentration for the sophomore out of Maryville Ohio and he's going man no problem same result you can see some of the folks have headed for air conditioning but a lot of them a short of time yeah no kid that first series of the third quarter was pretty rough so Akon will come out to the 25 and we're assuming two minutes left ragos going to take the hand off and they go inside and nice and the Zips just keep it on the ground here as we're going to wind down the last minute you know relatively healthy we'll see about their quarterback if Brandon inis gets his hands on this I hope there's no blocks in the back cuz oh he's going to call fair catch never back at the 13 yd line yeah I think that was on orders that time nobody even tried to block for Ohio State and he's had a good return day even though it doesn't count in the stats he's had some Beauties they just all were called back they'll be will this is a fun game this is a there'll be one or two games where that fourth quarter will come up and number 18 will have to make a few plays that's when you to win a championship there'll be a couple clutch Gam games where he has to good start to the season good start for that guy for sure will [Applause] Howard and Joel morehead's Zips will have better days if they can stay healthy they obviously don't have the depth at Ohio State does but they're going to give some ma team some problems
