Hello, Ohio State offense.

After a 23-point performance in the season opener, Ohio State surpassed that total in 30 minutes of action on Saturday, with the offense scoring 28 points from four touchdowns and four extra points before the intermission.

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. scored the Buckeyes' first two touchdowns as part of a seven-catch, 160-yard and two-score performance in the first half. Running back TreVeyon Henderson bulldozed his way to the end zone for Ohio State's third touchdown, while wide receiver Emeka Egbuka put on the moves for the Buckeyes' fourth score.

Quarterback Kyle McCord shined, completing 13 of 18 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns, as Devin Brown received backup reps and was 2-of-6 for 21 yards, with and additional 13 yards on three carries as a runner.
