So it is especially interesting to me that Day has said multiple times over the past year or so that Sayin has a “quick mind and a quick release”

One offense had clear respect for the opponent’s pass rush and defense and the other thought they could run a typical gameplan against an unknown.
There are some questions I have about the offense but I know the coaches aren’t hanging a new QB out to dry.

I have to say and this will be unpopular… but I think JJ needs to be better than he was. Easy enough for a guy like me to say that I know. He’s still the best in college football but whatever it is about Texas.
It wasn’t the drops (those aren’t common) but to me his body language wasn’t great all game, was allowing himself to get pushed around more than you’d think, and there were a number of motion plays where after he motioned across he didn’t even turn upfield. Instead just sort of slowed into a jog facing the sidelines.
He acknowledged in the season his job this year might be decoy a lot of the time. I don’t think he handled that well on Saturday.
He’ll be fine obviously. He’s a young player still but I was kind of surprised to see him visibly irritated (not greatly but I could tell at least) this early in the year. He’s going to need to prepare himself because this is the blue print now.
He’ll rebound and he’ll be fine but for sure have noticed he can get himself off his game.

He came across as someone pushing to change the narrative that Texas can shut him down. After Sayin missed him getting single coverage his frustration showed and he kept looking upfield too quickly. They only threw the ball downfield a few plays and Texas was keying on screens to him.
Don’t think it’ll be an issue going forward. WRs get more frustrated because their ability to make big plays is mostly dependent on gameplan and situational awareness/ability of the QB. Getting a big win and trusting the process helps too.

The biggest worry coming out of a stupendous Week 1 victory for Ohio State football
The Ohio State football team did what was needed to win against Texas, but this is the biggest worry the team has coming out of that game.

The Ohio State football team must figure out a way to run the ball better
Ohio State wasn't able to figure out a way to run the ball at all in the opening game. Surprisingly, CJ Donaldson got the start in this game. He did score a touchdown, but ran it 19 times for only 67 yards. That's just 3.5 yards a carry, which is not good enough.Donaldson was by far the better of the two backs that the Buckeyes trotted out. James Peoples was horrendous, putting up just 20 yards on 10 carries. He was constantly stuffed at the line and never came close to breaking out for a big run. His longest run was just six yards.
The offensive line has to bear some responsibility for that. They were fantastic in pass protection, but they simply couldn't move Texas off the line of scrimmage in the run game. Texas has a very solid defensive line, so the Longhorns certainly deserve some credit for that.
It seems like Ethan Oniwanwa is a total bust as a transfer portal player. He played 15 snaps at right guard and wasn't good in any of them. He was supposed to play left tackle, but it looks like he can't play any position up front. It's a horrendous development for someone who got paid a lot of NIL money.
It's highly unlikely that the running game remains this poor throughout the season. The Buckeyes will be able to figure it out and have this offense running like a well-oiled machine. Still, this is something to watch over the next few weeks.
