Remember when Ohio State fans were panicking about Kyle McCord and wanted Devin Brown to be the starter when the season began? Well, I think the veteran quarterback is slowly making believers out of Buckeye fans. They’re coming around.
How would they not be? He had another big game, passing for 318 yards and three touchdowns with no picks. He also continued to develop that relationship with Marvin Harrison Jr. as he caught five passes for 126 yards and a touchdown in the win.
Brown, on the other hand, came into the game and threw an interception along with a touchdown.
The Buckeye run game was solid with about 200 yards and a few touchdowns as the offense looked balanced and dominant.
Of course, it was just Western Kentucky, but it was good to see some kinks ironed out in this one and it feels like Ohio State is becoming a well-oiled machine before our very eyes again.
We may see them slide back up into the top five this week.
