Last Week: 66-0 win against Kent State

Talk about a bounce back performance.

Ohio State put the hammer down on offense and defense, dominating in every phase of the game this past Saturday.

Sorry Kent State, you showed up at a bad time. Pissed off Buckeyes are not ones to be trifled with.

JT Barrett tied a Buckeye record with six passing touchdowns, while spreading the ball around all day, finding 11 different targets.

Sadly, Ohio State’s image reconstruction may have taken another hit despite such a dominating win.

The team that upended Ohio State two weeks ago (Virginia Tech), suffered an embarrassing loss to East Carolina this past weekend.

Whatever the perception may be, Urban Meyer’s team is not one to underestimate.

The Buckeyes are a young team, but they’re growing up and should continue to get better as the season progresses.

The the big question is, will they improve enough in time to challenge for the Big Ten crown?
