Dude was a QB I thought. I did not see that deep into the bench coming with this team and it beat my degenerate self in the head. I got you if it caused you grief what I posted.

Hell yeah, my only critique is the targeting call. Nice game, boys.
EDIT: For clarity, the critique is that the call was stupid and bad. Denzel deserved better.

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Says Donovan Jackson Could Have Played in an Emergency Situation and Good Week of Practice Led to Buckeyes' Rushing Success
Ryan Day said Donovan Jackson could have played in an emergency and that a good week of practice led to success running the ball.
Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Says Donovan Jackson Could Have Played in an Emergency Situation and Good Week of Practice Led to Buckeyes' Rushing Success
It's hard to find things to criticize when the scope of dominance is as vast as Ohio State's was on Saturday.
The Buckeyes outgained Western Michigan 683 to 99 en route to a 56-0 victory, their first shutout in five years. Ohio State rushed for 273 yards at a rate of 7 yards per carry, finding more consistency on the ground in Week 1.
Following his team's dominant performance, Ryan Day addressed the Ohio State media on his squad's success running the football and updated the status of left guard Donovan Jackson, who did not play against the Broncos.
- Day opened his press conference by thanking the crowd in Ohio Stadium. "We wanted to start fast in this game and really build on the energy."
- Ohio State's week of practice bled into running game success, Day said. "You can see it. Strong running, home run-hitting ability. He and Tre both ran the ball great today. ... I thought Chip called a great game. ... It goes back to our week of practice."
- On getting depth involved in the game: "Extremely important. We know that that's going to be huge."
- Day said that left guard Donovan Jackson could have played in an emergency situation.
- Ohio State's true "bye week" is after Oregon, Day said. He called the team's upcoming bye an "improvement week." "We're gonna go to work. We'll be back at it tomorrow."
- On the offensive line: "I think they got into a rhythm as a group. ... They settled down in this game, I felt like. If there was a mistake made, it was full speed. ... There are bigger challenges ahead."
- While Day said Ohio State respects Western Michigan, the Buckeyes remained aggressive because it is important to get its depth some action. "We were trying to get more guys more plays. A lot of the guys on this team deserve plays and deserve reps."
- On Will Howard's performance: "There's gonna be things that we see ... there's a couple things in there. ... But Will's got good demeanor. You can see the effect he can have in the pass game, you can see the effect he can have with his feet. ... A big part of run-after-catch is timing and location of throws and accuracy."
- On the shutout: "It's something these guys have pride in. ... Overall, our guys were proud of that."
- Day liked what he saw from Devin Brown, Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz in relief of Howard.

Who played against Western Michigan you ask:
www.elevenwarriors.com
A fast start and sustained dominance allowed Ohio State to play deep into its bench against Western Michigan.
More than 80 total Ohio State players got on the field in the Buckeyes’ second game of the 2024 season as OSU substituted plenty of backups into the lineup in the second half of its 56-0 rout of the Broncos.
Despite playing as far down as the fourth row of the depth chart at many positions, Ohio State never allowed Western Michigan to steal any momentum into Ohio Stadium as the Buckeyes scored touchdowns on eight of their 13 possessions while holding the Broncos scoreless for their first shutout in exactly five years.
Austin Siereveld played the most snaps among all Buckeyes for the second week in a row as he started the game at left guard in place of Donovan Jackson, who was held out despite being available while continuing to recover from a preseason injury. Siereveld remained in the game with the second-team offensive line after the rest of the offensive starters were subbed out, only leaving the field for the Buckeyes’ final two possessions when Joshua Padilla replaced him at LG.
Siereveld was the only Buckeye on either side of the ball to play more than 50 snaps from scrimmage as Ohio State’s defense was on the field for only 50 plays total thanks to forcing 10 three-and-outs.
In total, 38 Buckeyes played at least one snap on offense while another 34 saw the field on defense. More than a dozen others saw playing time on special teams only as Ohio State also allowed more reserves to play in that phase of the game, with backup punter Nick McLarty and backup kicker Austin Snyder each making their first game appearances as Buckeyes in the fourth quarter.

Seventeen Ohio State freshmen saw the field in the Buckeyes’ 56-0 blanking of Western Michigan with 10 of them recording statistics and three of them – Jeremiah Smith, James Peoples and Julian Sayin – accounting for touchdowns.
Smith made history by becoming the first Ohio State freshman to eclipse 200 receiving yards in the first two games of a season. He also joins David Boston as the only freshman to catch a touchdown pass in each of the season’s first two games, having already scored three touchdowns in just two weeks.
Late in the first quarter, Will Howard turned to Smith when the Buckeyes faced a 1st-and-20 from Ohio State's own 30. The phenomenal freshman took a simple hitch route and turned it into a 70-yard score, outrunning five Western Michigan defenders along the way.
That was the longest touchdown by a freshman receiver in program history, tying running backs Carlos Snow and TreVeyon Henderson for the longest receiving touchdown by any freshman. Snow caught a 70-yard touchdown pass against Michigan in 1987 and Henderson did the same against Minnesota in 2021.
Is Smith special? Yes, Smith is special.

Stock Up/Down: Ohio State Takes Massive Strides in Run Blocking and Dominates Western Michigan, C.J. Hicks Passed By Arvell Reese on LB Depth Chart
There’s an argument to be made for every single Ohio State starter being in the Stock Up section of this week's stock report.
The Buckeyes slaughtered Western Michigan 56-0 and looked like every bit of the national championship contender they were touted to be entering 2024. The defense posted its first shutout since 2019. The offense answered questions about its running game with a 273-yard rushing performance.
Name a position group for Ohio State, it excelled against the Broncos, plain and simple. A special teams hiccup or two will be thrown on film and coaches are always going to look for fine details to improve on, but the Buckeyes’ investments are having fantastic returns two weeks into the college football season. The same can't be said for a collection of Big Ten foes, however.

Arvell Reese

Stock Down:
