Everything Ohio State fans wanted to see against Michigan just happened in the opening drive against Tennessee. Chip Kelly came out throwing the ball and the Volunteers didn’t handle it very well as Will Howard marched the Buckeyes down the field.
And then Tennessee made a big mistake and left Jeremiah Smith in one one-on-one coverage. Howard saw the mismatch and took advantage, lofting the ball where only Smith could come down with it. Bullseye and the Buckeyes are up 7-0 early in the first quarter.
Take a look at the spectacular catch as the Buckeye defense tries to contain Nico Iamaleava and the Volunteer offense.
