Ohio State vs. Oklahoma 2016 final score, with 3 things to know from OSU’s 45-24 win

   The Buckeyes didn’t start until an hour and a half later than its original start time, but that wouldn’t stop Urban Meyer’s squad. The Sooners would start things off on offense, coming out swinging by attacking the Buckeyes through the air early and often with play action. In the redzone, Ohio State’s defense would tighten up to hold Oklahoma to a field goal attempt, which would clang off the right goalpost. Buckeyes wouldn’t do much better on their first drive as the Sooners would force a punt after a false start penalty sent them back. On its next possession, facing a fourth and one, the Buckeyes would hand it to Curtis Samuel who would turn the corner past the defense for a touchdown. Ohio State would get on the board first, 7-0.
   Just as it looked like the Sooners were building some momentum for a comeback, the Buckeye defense stood strong and sacked Baker Mayfield on fourth down to take over on offense. Ohio State would take advantage of the turnover on downs, answering with a field goal by Tyler Durbin to put the Buckeyes up 45-24. With Oklahoma pressing for a score, the Buckeyes defense would again stand tall, forcing another turnover on downs to essentially put the game on ice.
   As I predicted on my postgame blog Ohio State was simply to talented and too determined on making a statement nationally to be denied. Oklahoma couldn't beat Houston so I expected that we would definitely come out victorious as even the rain delay couldn't slow our offense down. Noah Brown had touchdown after touchdown including an amazing catch in the end zone where he pinned the ball against the back of the defender for the score. One can only wonder just how good Ohio State truly is as we haven't played our best football this season yet. Ohio State enters this week ranked #2 in the nation.
