The Buckeyes are dominant, elite, whatever word you want to use to describe them. They’re undoubtedly one of the sport’s best and most talented teams. With all of that said, Nebraska could have put up a little more fight.

Before the year, many thought Scott Frost would have this team at a level where it could make this game interesting, and that maybe that would indicate the return of Nebraska as a relevant player in the sport. Instead, they were thoroughly manhandled.

It wouldn’t be fair to expect them to win this game, but it’s absolutely fair to expect more life. For example, earlier in the day, Ole Miss hosted Alabama, and while the Rebels didn’t come away close to victorious, they managed 31 points. The Tide ran away with the game, but the Rebels showed some fight.

Meanwhile, Nebraska managed 47 passing yards in the entire matchup with Ohio State.

It’s fair to expect Frost to at least have Nebraska at Ole Miss’ level, right?
