Columbus, OH - The defending national champs and preseason #1 team in America wasted little time Saturday showing off their skills. The Buckeyes faced highly undermanned FCS MW and rolled to a 70-0 victory. Highly touted true Freshman QB D. Graves showed his skill by throwing for 346 yards and 6 touchdowns, albeit against a porous defense, it was still a good showing. Senior running back C. Thomas ran for 203 yards and 4 scores and added a 42 yard touchdown catch to cap his brilliant day. 'It was better than I expected today. You usually struggle in your first game to find a rhythm, regardless of who you play. It was a great tuneup, we have another game next week against a FCS school then hit the road to take on #2 Oklahoma, so needless to say these first two weeks are a great way to get our ducks in a row before the crunch begins.' said head coach Aaron Jones.
On the recruiting front, the Buckeyes have already inked 6 athletes for next season, highlighted by a trio of five star defensive prospects at SS, CB and DT. They also inked a trio of 4 star prospects at TE and 2 OLB's.
