Two things are simultaneously true for Ohio State through two games: the offense is bad, and the offense is better. You can see some of the changes that new OC Justin Tuma is bringing to the table. But there's a lot of poor execution you're seeing that's going to cost Ohio State games this year.
It was another slow, frustrating start from Ohio State. Like many games in the past, the Buckeyes struggled to score, or stop their opponents from Utah. The first 15 minutes ended with a 4-1 Utah lead, and the Buckeyes were all out of sorts. Unlike many, many past games, however, the Buckeyes didn't break under the pressure. Even with horrible offense, the team stayed together, amd chipped away. Utah scored its 6th goal with 7:34 left or so, and would only score twice more the rest of the game.
It's been an action packed month since the calendar flipped to September. The Buckeyes have kicked the 2025 class off with some huge moves, securing a commitment from 5-star, must-get Khalif Hocker, along with a slew of other 4-star guys. That's honestly been the biggest surprise to me this young recruiting season. I didn't think that is something that would happen, and yet here we are.
