Ohio State wasn't tested in Urban Meyer's return to the sideline Saturday, racing out to a 42-6 halftime lead before going on to drop Tulane, 49-6.
Quarterback Dwayne Haskins was amazing again, finishing his one half of action 21-24 for 304 yards and five touchdowns. Again, that's just one half of work.
Parris Campbell finished with eight catches for 147 yards and two score (and lost part of his jersey), while the defense, playing without their best player, Nick Bosa, turned in 14 TFLs.
