It's a bad day to be a Spartan.
The climb to greatness isn't easy. For this team, the journey is already in motion. Every moment, every game, is one step closer to the top of the mountain.No offense to Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall, but the Zips, Broncos and Thundering Herd never posed a threat to the Buckeyes. In fact, there was so little a threat that Ryan Day basically tossed out all the stuff Ohio State accomplished in those three wins on Tuesday.
The Buckeyes are 3-0 – yippee! – but Day knows his program receives no recognition or trophies for demolishing Group of Five teams that finished with more losses than wins last season. No, Day understands that Ohio State needs to improve week after week to be a Big Ten and national championship contender. The next chance for the Buckeyes to make those improvements comes on Saturday against a Michigan State team looking to establish its identity under first-year head coach Jonathan Smith.
“There’s a little bit of an unknown because you haven’t had multiple years going against them before,” he said Wednesday. “We know a little bit more about their personnel, but not exactly about their schemes and some of the stuff that they do. So we’ve got to do a good job of being ready for the unexpected and have a good plan. But to me, it’s gonna come down to handling the road, handling the noise, being really good with the football, running the football and stopping the run.
In addition to Ohio State at Michigan State, No. 20 Oklahoma State at No. 23 Kansas State , No. 15 Louisville at No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 2 Georgia at No. 4 Alabama are among the standouts this week.With a 3-6 record through three weeks, I’m down but not out entering the fourth Gameday Skull Session of the 2024 season. That’s fine. A 3-0 week would put me back at .500 overall in a game where the picks are made up and the points don’t matter.
Then there was another score, and another score, and another score, and another score and another score – an Olave 43-yard touchdown, a Julian Fleming 4-yard touchdown, a Miyan Williams 1-yard touchdown, a Wilson 12-yard touchdown and a JSN 5-yard touchdown, to be exact.
