After allowing Clemson two quick scoring drives, the Ohio State defense has seemed to settle in and the offense is starting to look like the one we thought it could.
Ryan Day is calling an excellent game, keeping the Tigers on their heels. Justin Fields had several nice runs on the Buckeyes third scoring drive of the first half, some by design, some out of necessity.
And just like it should, the running game is opening up the passing lanes. From the 17-yard line, Fields rolled out to his left before looking back right to find a wide-open Jeremy Ruckert.
Watch the poetry in motion as Ruckert waltzes into the endzone.
Justin Fields slings a little 27-yard misdirection pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert. Ohio State takes a 21-7 lead. https://t.co/eV6ulAKwC5
