Game Thread Ball State at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 5th, 12:30 ET BTN

Bey’s coachabilty is incredible. Anyone who has coached or raised children can attest that the mistakes are one thing, but being coachable, accountable, and correcting your mistakes is what it’s all about. We all make mistakes but owning up to them and building from them is everything:

  • Day said he was disappointed that Legend Bey took the kickoff out of the end zone twice when he wasn’t supposed to, but “you can see the talent.” “He’s got a good attitude when it comes to being corrected ... It’s his job to continue to work to get better.”

Ohio State’s victory over Ball State was the 27th consecutive season-opening win for the Buckeyes, which is the longest active streak in the country. The last time Ohio State lost in their first game of the season came against the Miami Hurricanes in the Kickoff Classic in 1999. The 27 straight wins also tie Florida for the second-longest winning streak in season openers in Division I history. The Buckeyes now just need wins in their next two season openers to tie Nebraska’s streak of 29 straight from 1986 to 2014.
 
Just a few brief notes....

1. Ohio State had three TD drives of 90+ yards, and also had TD drives of 83 yards and 75 yards.

2. Ohio State had four explosive TDs (20+ yards) on offense: receptions of 25 yards (Legend Bey) and 48 yards (Jeremiah Smith), and runs of 49 yards (Ja'Kobi Jackson) and 65 yards (Bo Jackson). The last time that the Buckeyes had four explosive scores in the same game was against Oregon (and also Tennessee) in the 2024 Playoffs.

3. Five players scored their first Buckeye touchdowns: Ja'Kobi Jackson (run of 49 yards); Legend Bey (reception of 25 yards); Devin McCuin (reception of 17 yards); Chris Henry Jr (reception of 15 yards); and Julian Sayin (run of 3 yards).

On his TD catch and run he looked Braxton Milleresg with the ball in his hands. He has a great jump cut like Braxton and Dobbins.
