Ohio State football has its mind on one thing — a College Football Playoff national championship.
At this point, anything short of that is going to be a disappointing outcome for the Buckeyes, especially after they slaughtered the No. 1-ranked Oregon Ducks this past Wednesday.
The Buckeyes ended the first half up 34-8, granted they did give up a last-second touchdown to allow the Ducks their first points of the game going into the break.
Nonetheless, they weren’t excited as they knew they had to both finish the game and make it through two more opponents before being crowned the best team in college football.
That’s a summation of what wide receiver Brandon Inniss said about the Ohio State attitude entering the half.
“The job wasn’t done, we had nothing to be excited about”
Brandon Inniss said the Buckeyes were frustrated going to the half against Oregon.
We heard this mindset a lot today about the playoff run for OSU. The Buckeyes aren’t ready to celebrate anything except a championship: pic.twitter.com/eXurrXlNuF

Inniss didn’t end with a reception in the game as much of the Ohio State offense flowed through Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egubka. That said, he did have a strong season with the Buckeyes, playing 14 games and totaling 13 receptions for 157 yards and a score.
He should see some snaps against the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl this Friday.
