The Utah Utes are playing amazing and really embarrassing the Ohio State Buckeyes, heading into halftime leading 35-21. Ohio State looks to be moving and grooving on offense, but their defense and apparently special teams has been atrocious. There is a ton of time left, but the showing in the first half on defense may be more embarrassing than what we saw in Ann Arbor against Michigan.
I know that the narrative for this game has been surrounding the fact that this game doesn’t matter and it is hard to disagree with that considering four of the best players opted out, but this game does matter. Here are three things that were noticed in the first half. It’ll matter a whole lot more if the Buckeyes continue to have this poor of a performance on defense.
