The Ohio State Buckeyes took down the Akron Zips 52-6 Saturday in their first game of the 2024 college football season.
While the scoreboard shows a dominant victory, it didn’t quite feel that way as the Buckeyes were up just 7-3 at the end of the first 15-minute period. Ohio State won the second half 35-3.
However, there were a slew of very positive performances. True freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith ended with two touchdowns, a huge feat in his first game.
Ryan Day was able to speak and just about every topic in the postgame press conference and gave his opinion on several aspects of the game, some impressive and some not so much.

The Buckeyes were able to take down the Zips in Week 1 with ease, and they should have another relatively easy matchup with the Western Michigan Broncos in Week 2.
