Skull Session: Miyan Williams Went the Wrong Way, Parris Campbell is a Seer, and Ohio State Wins Another Opener

You know what they say, good teams win, great teams cover.

YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. I verily enjoyed watching the running back who was once went by the nickname "Fat Man" outrun an entire defense for 71 yards as he strolled untouched into the end zone.

Turns out, the entire play was just a happy accident, and now I enjoy it even more.

Miyan Williams said he actually went the wrong way on the 71-yard touchdown. It worked anyway.

With that in mind, let's roll the tape.

Based on these results, I now think that is how Ohio State should call all misdirection plays: tell only the running back which direction to run.

PARRIS THE PROPHET. I'm gonna need Parris Campbell to go ahead and give me this week's MegaMillions numbers after this.

That boy Chris smiling like he know he going for 100+ and 2 tugs https://t.co/6jYwtSpLKI

For the record, he finished with four catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns. So, this was spot on.

But to be fair, Chris Olave has now put up 100+ yards and two touchdowns in literally half of games going back to last season – as crazy as that sounds. So basically, this ain't really a bold prediction, it's a coin flip.

WE'RE GOING STREAKING. There are humans who have been able to legally purchase and consume alcohol for a year who have never been alive to see Ohio State lose a season opener.

And they didn't see it yesterday, either.

Ohio State has now won 22 straight season openers, the 3rd-longest streak in the AP Poll Era (since 1936).

The difficulty hypothetically gets turned up a bit next year when Notre Dame comes to town to open the season, but Notre Dame's a cool 3-21 against top-five teams dating back to the start of the BCS era, so I'm happy to roll the dice there.

IN WHAT SPORT? There's nothing quite like a cheeky Michigan Man in early September.

In this case, it's Hunter Dickinson.

Okay Im going to say it Were beating Ohio State this year

For his own sanity, I pray he means his own basketball team and that he hasn't become emotionally invested in the football program. Ask any Michigan fan – this will only hurt you.
