Ohio State beats Minnesota: Three things we learned

This Buckeye defense needs to improve if they are going to win out. We discuss that and two other points after the win against Minnesota.

The Ohio State football team defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 45-31 and are now undefeated sitting at 1-0 after taking care of its first Big Ten game. Next week Ohio State will get Oregon at home, but before moving on let’s reflect on what we just watched.

To recap C.J. Stroud had 294 yards passing, Miyan Williams had 125 yards rushing and Chris Olave led all receivers with 117 yards receiving. The Buckeyes played well, but let’s talk about the three things that were most noticeable.

It wasn’t all good, but OSU showed the toughness, resiliency, and talent to notch a win on the road in the Big Ten, and that’s never a bad thing.

NEXT … The defensive effort has to be better for Ohio State
