The reunion of Ryan Day and Chip Kelly is off to a great start with the Buckeyes. Day convinced his former college coach to leave his position at the head of the UCLA program to serve as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator. And so far it’s resulted in the Buckeyes scoring 108 points in their first two games. Just in case those weren’t enough, the Buckeyes defense has allowed only six points through that same span.
So, yeah, this Ohio State team looks pretty good. Of course, the competition the Buckeyes have faced so far hasn’t been incredible, and that won’t change this week with Marshall. The Thundering Herd enter the game with a record of 1-1. While the Herd were impressive in a 45-3 win over Stony Brook to start the season, they struggled quite a bit in a 31-14 loss at Virginia Tech.
This will mark the third meeting between the programs, with the last coming in 2010. The Buckeyes won that game 45-7, but their meeting in 2004 was much closer, as Ohio State squeaked by 27-24.
