Ohio State Dominates Ball State in First Half Surge | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Ohio State crushed Ball State 56-3 in a statement-opening win, but the real story was the highs and lows that unfolded on both sides of the ball. Jeremiah Smith exploded for 150+ yards and two TDs in the first half, while Devin McCuin added five catches and a score. Special teams stumbled early when kick returner Legend Bey ignored instructions, running out of bounds twice — but he bounced back with a crucial touchdown catch. The offensive line and running game struggled to move the ball in the first half, but flipped the script in the second with explosive runs. With Texas looming, OSU’s ground game and line must carry over that momentum if they want to keep dominating. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
