The Ohio State offense has been humming all day long, something Buckeye fans have been waiting for since the opening week of the season. After seeing the offense put 42 points on the board, the defense wanted in on the action.

Deep in its own territory, Western Kentucky pitched the ball to the running back when Denzel Burke put a hat on the ball and popped it loose. Steele Chambers had a chance for the scoop and score but muffed it which led to a scrum. Out of nowhere, big Tyleik Williams pulled the ball from the pile and was awarded the touchdown.

The guys in the trenches don’t always get a lot of air time, but when something like this happens, they make the most of it and Williams gave the cameras an eyeful. Let’s check out some of the best social media reactions.

Countdown to Kickoff: 7 best Group of Five players

The countdown to kickoff continues with the seven best Group of Five players in the country.

Through College Sports Wire’s countdown to kickoff, the Power Five has been overwhelming the focus, and rightfully so. It’s time to look at the Group of Five and its top seven players entering this fall.

The Group of Five’s place in today’s college football landscape is interesting. Thanks to the transfer portal, many of the top players from Group of Five player programs eventually end up at Power Five programs. This was one major worry about the transfer portal and its potential impacts.

There are Groups of Five stars who still have chosen to stay at their respective programs – which is excellent news for college football. While the Group of Five has rarely produced true competitors for national championships, it remains a vital part of college football and what makes the sport special.

This caliber of players choosing to stay at Group of Five programs will only ensure that college football, despite widespread changes, remains healthy from top to bottom.

Honorable mentions for players who just missed the cut in today’s list include Southern Mississippi’s Frank Gore Jr., Colorado State’s Tory Horton, and Western Kentucky’s Malachi Corley,
