It wasn't the huge blowout some (and Vegas) might've been predicting, but yours truly wasn't all that shocked about how Ohio State's game against Arkansas State unfolded on Saturday. Key starters still out, a Notre Dame hangover, combined with a noon start against a clearly overmatched out of conference opponent? Yeah, that's going to make for a lackadaisical few hours on the football field.
But hey! A win is a win is a win, and the Buckeyes still looked pretty dominant. I'll take it.

Gray skies to match the pants and helmet.
Next up is Toledo, who actually might be a lot better than you'd think??!? Things could get interesting next week, so stay tuned.
