The Scoreboard: How Ohio State Commits Performed Nov. 9-11

COLUMBUS — Ohio State turned in the kind of performance it needed to turn in. The Buckeyes, from their opening drive until the starters were pulled, dominated against Michigan State in primetime on Saturday.

Quarterback Kyle McCord and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. were clicking on all levels. Harrison is leading a Heisman campaign that saw over 150 total yards of offense and three touchdowns against the Spartans.

The Buckeyes’ defense once again stood tall and even with a few injuries at key positions, the Silver Bullets never wilted.
