The Buckeyes’ matchup against the Red Wolves through the lens of social media.
Ohio State took on Arkansas State on Saturday in the first ever meeting between the two programs. The Buckeyes took care of business as you would expect, taking down the Red Wolves by a final score of 45-12 to move to 2-0 on the season. C.J. Stroud was exceptional, throwing for 351 yards and four touchdowns. Marvin Harrison Jr. was the recipient of three of those, leading the way among the receivers with seven catches for 187 yards and the trio of scores.
While your eyes were on the field, we were checking out what everyone on social media had to say about Saturday’s game. Let’s relive Ohio State’s big victory through the Twitterverse.
Before things kicked off, we learned that Ohio State would once again be without its top two wide receivers.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in a gray sweatsuit as Ohio State is going through its final round of warmups. It looks like the Buckeyes will be without him and Julian Fleming, who is also not in uniform.

After a big game in Week 1, the X-man got the nod in Week 2.
Looks like Xavier Johnson will make his first career start at WR, replacing JSN in the slot after last week’s big TD against Notre Dame.

And we’re off!

After a quick three-and-out by Arkansas State, TreVeyon Henderson makes his presence felt.

That didn’t take long. Route Man Marv on the board!

Emeka Egbuka returns the punt for a touchdown, but a flag takes it off the board.
Long punt return touchdown for Emeka Egbuka – but a penalty flag nullifies what would have been Ohio State’s first punt return touchdown since 2014.

Ohio State keeping Arkansas State’s offense on the field with flag after flag.
The Buckeyes gift the Red Wolves roughly 60 free yards on penalties. Alas, its 7-3 OSU.
Arkansas State puts up 3 points on a drive that could have ended with an Ohio State punt return for a TD.

If #OhioState keeps flags off the field they’ll win this game by whatever score they want

Another HUGE gain for Marvin Harrison Jr. on a dime by C.J. Stroud.
What a pass by Stroud there as Harrison is quickly on his way to a monster game.

CJ to Marv AGAIN for 45. First Down Bucks

Sets up an easy walk-in touchdown for Tre, and the Bucks are up 14-3.

I think the Ohio State offense is probably good

Everyone stop what they’re doing immediately!!
Ohio State just drew up a play for the tight end. I repeat – Ohio State just drew up a play for the tight end.

Marvin Harrison Jr. scored but the refs said he didn’t. 17-3 Buckeyes anyway.
Should’ve been a TD but I guess they ruled inconclusive? FG for Ruggles and it’s 17-3 #Buckeyes at the start of the second quarter
— Alex Gleitman (@alexgleitman) September 10, 2022
It has been a tough start to the year for CB1. OSU defense holds them to a FG, 17-6.
Denzel Burke gets beat for a deep catch by Champ Flemings, who goes for a 58-yard gain to get Arkansas State in the red zone for the second time today.
— Dan Hope (@Dan_Hope) September 10, 2022
Some defensive subs getting in for Ohio State after some shaky play in the secondary.
JK Johnson in the game now at cornerback in place of Denzel Burke. Cameron Martinez and Lathan Ransom also in the game alongside Ronnie Hickman at safety.

After the Red Wolves tack on another field goal, Ohio State answers QUICKLY. 24-9.

Mike Hall comes up with the sack on 4th-and-1. No. 51 should never come off the field.

1. That's a sack in flag football, too.

The Buckeyes begin the second half with a bang. Henderson finishes it off. 31-9 good guys.
Ohio State’s first offensive play of the second half is a 44-yard connection from C.J. Stroud to Emeka Egbuka, the Buckeyes’ fifth play of 40+ yards today.

Things have escalated quickly in Columbus. Ohio State has run 4 offensive plays in the second half and scored two touchdowns. It’s 38-9.

OSU's longest play last week against ND was 31 yards ... the Buckeyes now have seven plays of 35 yards or longer today vs. Arkansas State -- a run of 41 and passes of 51, 44, 42, 35, 35 and 42 yards ... Stroud 13-18 for 307 yards and 3 TDs, Harrison 5-145-2 TDs, Egbuka 4-118-1 TD

Nearly had a heart attack over here. Crisis averted, it would appear.
Harrison Jr.’s third touchdown of the day is beauty. Perfect throw, perfect catch. 45-12.

Check that one off your Bingo card, folks. Congrats to Caden for earning the nod.
The first Ohio State freshman to play on offense or defense this season: Caden Curry, who is now in the game as an edge defender.
— Dan Hope (@Dan_Hope) September 10, 2022
and not too long after that...
Curry showing why he’s the first freshman to play on defense with back-to-back tackles, including one for a 6-yard loss.

With a little over eight minutes remaining, Ohio State has emptied the bench.
Kyle McCord is in at quarterback for Ohio State. He starts the drive by handing off to Dallan Hayden.
— Joey Kaufman (@joeyrkaufman) September 10, 2022
True freshman Tegra Tshabola is going to play with the second-team offensive line along with Jakob James, Enokk Vimahi, Zen Michalski and Josh Fryar
