Ohio State football blew out the No. 1 Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday. Closing as about a field goal favorite, the Buckeyes ended the first quarter and a half up 31-0.

The Buckeyes eventually won by a 20-point margin, finishing the game up 41-21. It was a monster effort from wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and quarterback Will Howard. The defense stood strong consistently as well.

Ohio State looked unstoppable in the quarterfinal against Oregon, and it obliterated top ten opponent Tennessee in the first round of the playoff as well. The Buckeyes have more than proven themselves in the College Football Playoff.

Former head coach and current analyst, Urban Meyer, gave his take on this Buckeyes team ahead of taking on the Texas Longhorns. It may be no surprise, but Meyer is bullish on the Buckeyes per Athlon Sports’ Cole Sullivan.

“Yeah, if Team-A shows up, this will be a wrap. Ohio State will lift the gold trophy,” Meyer said. “If the best roster in the country plays like the best roster in the country, they’ll be national champs in a few weeks, and we’re witnessing it. Every skill player on Ohio State, I think, will be playing substantially in the National Football League. That’s how good they are.”

Meyer isn’t wrong either. This team has the talent that will undoubtedly be playing at the next level, and players like Smith and Emeka Egbuka could already be there.
