The majority of Ohio State’s starters are upperclassmen. But three touchdowns from two different freshmen helped propel the Buckeyes in their season opener. Despite an inconsistent first half for the Buckeyes offense, No. 2 Ohio State (1-0) dominated the final two quarters en route to a 52-6 victory against the Akron Zips (0-1) in front of 102,011 fans Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith led the Buckeyes in receiving in his first career game, notching six receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Graduate quarterback Will Howard completed 17 of 28 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns. —————————————————————————- 📸 Ohio State Buckeyes freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith (4) was a standout player in Ohio State’s season opener against Akron Saturday.
