Ohio State Shatters Records in Dominant Season Opener | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Ohio State crushed Ball State 56-3 in a statement win, extending their nation-leading streak of 27 consecutive season-opening victories dating back to 1999. Head coach Ryan Day tied Urban Meyer with 83 wins at OSU and is now 7-0 against MAC teams, averaging over 50 points in those games. The seniors were honored before kickoff for the first time, having won 38 games since last season and chasing a national title. Former coach Jim Tressel was inducted into the Ring of Honor during the first quarter. On offense, Jeremiah Smith continues his record-breaking run, while Bo Jackson and Ja’Kobi Jackson both rushed for 83 yards and a TD — a rare statistical coincidence. Defense held Ball State under 200 yards, with T.J. Alford snagging the season’s first interception and Devin Sanchez recording two passes defended — a dominant, well-rounded start to the year.
