It wasn't always pretty, but Ohio State eventually cruised to a 52-6 season-opening win against Akron on Saturday.
Freshman Jeremiah Smith dazzled in his Ohio State debut, catching six passes for 92 yards with two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Will Howard completed 17 of 28 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns in his first start as a Buckeye.
The defense created all kinds of havoc, scoring two defensive touchdowns and recording five sacks and two interceptions.
