Yeah, I was surprised how good he looked. His final stats don't do him justice, lots of dropped balls or balls he had to throw away because of pressure.
@@tdeiwert1dude… “some” of the game.. mayb if u watched the whole game u couldve seen his outstanding pocket presence and awareness, all while using his legs. both of which mccord could not do. howard will do great in this offense
@@williamlemmon3786 yes I hated to see him go to y’all but I can’t blame him. I told my friends, he has a chance at a Natty, and the Heisman and couldn’t happen to a better guy. Playing for Ohio St, he won’t have to go into Romo mode and take chances to win the game and he can play more within himself.
It's hilarious seeing everyone overreact about the first half. Ohio States been doing this for a few years now. A mid to bad first half then an elite second half. Also both of Akron's scores were 50 yard field goals lmfao
@@calebhall9768to me it’s more they come out to flat against great teams or with a stale game plan and start slow and have to save their own asses at the end. Also end game management could be better im an OSU fan btw talent ain’t a problem coaching has to be better
Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to the past few years. 14 points on D means that the O only put up 38 against a high school team. Long gone are the Meyer days of 87-3
2019 Ohio State is one of the most complete and best teams all time. Monster on offense and defense. Robbed by the refs against Clemson .Ohio State vs LSU would have been epic that year.
Man :D What a team. 1st game of the year and they came out the second half without the Jitters looking like the team we know they are.. This is going to be a sick year as a buckeye, J. Smith and Will howard about to be a nasty combo..
Stop! Ohio State fans always get too far over their ski’s. Lot’s of areas that need improvement. Buckeyes are talented, good thing we didn’t play a good team today though.
@@SpurOne76 I wouldn't say he's overreacting. We should beat Michigan. Just take a look at their performance today. Donavan Edwards CLEARLY can't fill Corums shoes. Everyone overrated Edwards because he's their power back who gets all the 3 yard touchdowns.
Im a huge OSU fan and even I know Edwards ran all over us when Corum was injured 2 years ago, it doesn't matter how bad Michigan is. They always play harder in THE game @@TorpidClips
This is a critical season for Ryan Day in particular. If he doesn’t beat Michigan w/o Jim Harbaugh, then there’s gonna be so many people calling for him to be on the hot seat come next year
If he doesn’t win it all, he should be gone. There isn’t a coach in the country that does less with more talent. The fact that he still can’t put together a consistent run game is a guarantee they won’t win it all.
@@darnellwilliams8783 I think if he can’t beat Michigan is letting him off way too easy. He needs to win the whole thing. The amount of talent Ryan Day has squandered in his tenure is abhorrent.
Howard looks great. He made one bad throw the entire game and that was when he was falling down trying to get it to Henderson. Every ball he threw, either his guy was getting it or nobody was getting it. And that second TD to Smith was perfect.
- over 50 points in season opener - fed the ball to JJ when ohio state wide receiver recruits came to watch - lots of bright spots but also some areas that the guys can go into the week to work on - preseason hype around our transfers didnt end up being a flop like it is at so many other schools in week 1 - OLine looked sharp under chip kelly (in the box and not on the field btw) - NO INJURIES I think this was as good as a season opener can go! Buckle up buckeyes!!!
@@thespot5722 agreed I got that impression too, but I also feel like this run game is heads and shoulders above what it was last year. Still tho, Judkins need space to run down the middle. Chip will get these guys right
Ohio State always has great receivers, but I am so glad they have a better QB. For game 1 he looks night and day to what they had last year. Let’s go Bucks!
100%. I’m curious in Michigan football. Tonight was a struggle, but Will Johnson is easily the best player for a reason in CFB 25. I hope the rivals level at 11-0 so not only they play in Columbus, but in Indy with divisions eliminated.
@shiesterjr The thumbnail didn't give the result away before you clicked on the video..Important to me, because I didn't watch the game live, being overseas..Many other channels show the obvious winning celebrating in the thumbnail, so no need to even watch haha
@@mikey4256 yeah but like, do you know the difference between akron U and Ohio state? Theres no world where Akron U could win if you know about the teams
Ohio State second half was beautiful , plus Jeremiah looked great besides the first dropped pass but at least he redeemed himself with 2 touchdowns , Go Buckeyes ❤❤❤❤❤
Ohio state ZERO excuses not to make it to the natty. This is by far the most stacked and deep team on football. Their 2nd string would be in the top 20
End of the second quarter and the second half the Bucks really came together. They have the athletes and minds to be great this season but we’ll see what happens. Georgia looks tough once again this year.
Its going to take some time to get used to hearing Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson call the Big 10 instead of the SEC, but if there is one conference that can fill the void left by the SEC on CBS, it's definitely the Big 10 or I guess the Big 18 if you want to be specific lol.
Man it was packed for the first game of the season. What a Great team we have, this year we're crushing ttun and running back the National Championship 🏆
0:50 This is like the 15th year in a row where a ref has tried to call targeting against an Ohio State player who never came close to hitting the QB's head. I remember when Bosa got ejected for pushing the QB's chest.
And then this backup QB for Akron sustains a hit to his head and they dont pull him. It's almost like for a second they actually had a chance to win the game.
I’d like to see improvement on the oline but our defense scored twice and was sacking the QB. If we win a championship this year, it will be because of our defense getting home.
Ohio State v Akron? So, an elite, top of the heap football program against a second or third tier program. A game like this is just a tune up for OSU. For the Akron players, it's the biggest game of their lives. A silly mismatch.
@rgdt2020 the same lsu who is relevant once every 15 years? The same lsu who got beat in week 1? Yeah you can have them “Any day.” The real WRU resides in Columbus Ohio. 🥱
Howard is 100% a big upgrade. HIs presence, decision making and way he runs this offense is night and day to last season.
Yeah, I was surprised how good he looked. His final stats don't do him justice, lots of dropped balls or balls he had to throw away because of pressure.
Wasn’t impressed. Playing akron. Guy should be completing 70/75% passes. Needs work if they want the championship
@@tdeiwert1you must be delusional then. 😂

I don’t care that it was Akron, Jeremiah Smith is gonna be a special player. Maybe even a future Heisman Trophy winner with his talent.

That first half was so frustrating to watch…. It’s only the second half when things started to come together…
Better late than never!
Chill new qb an new wrs different oline jus had to get the jitters out we will be ready by Oregon
The first game of the season. Ohio State will be fine
Because offenses are usually fine-tuned in the first half of the first game.
Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to the past few years. 14 points on D means that the O only put up 38 against a high school team.
Long gone are the Meyer days of 87-3
OSU finally has a complete team! The only area I did not see enough of is the Tight End play. This is gonna be a great year for Buckeyes fans
@@KingBeef007 oline getting to the second level was pretty non existent. Still can’t run between the tackles. It’s imperative we are able to do that.

Thank you Wheels, I didnt get the game in my area, this was awesome e
Bro did a hail mary with that kick
This team seems different feels different i think we can do it i think we will win it all
Agreed. Yeah we started slow, but never looked bad. Howard is going to be special with this talent. Defense is awesome. O line will figure it out
Bama Georgia Miami ole miss penn state all look serious as well

5:11
If I had a running back picking up the blitz like that I would 5000 yards. Greet job T. Henderson!!
Your full game highlights are better than the official highlights from either the Buckeyes or ESPN....crazy good!
They need to tighten up their TE defense. Other than that they played good.
Yeah I agree and they need more penetration on run defense
Hats off to Alton U
Not a bad showing
To even score against OSU is great
Akron is a great college for science
I was waiting for that spin move by judkins 😂
so glad somebody put up the highlights. I cant afford the stupid sports packages, so the only way i watch football is with youtube.

You’re a legend Wheels
Props to Akron, they played well all things considered. They have a lot of positives to take away from this game.
Great pro football game!
Me after this game: Oh no. Me seeing Oregon and Michigan barely beat some non P5 teams: Oh yes! Go Bucks!
Won 52-6 in the first game and said oh no? Even when the game started slow, you could tell this team was good
Ohio state ZERO excuses not to make it to the natty. This is by far the most stacked and deep team on football. Their 2nd string would be in the top 20
i like will howard. he looks like a good passer that OSU has needed for a long time.
Needed for one year? They had Stroud before that.
5:14 that block tho!!

That defense is going to be dominat again. Even more so than last year. The offense will be a work in progress. All depends on that Oline.
Where can I see the last pick six from the away side (the pov right when you come on screen at the end)????
OSU will beat Michigan this year
The referee in the middle of field looks like he’s playing also lol 😂 I know it’s his job tho
Linebacker play was horrid. They are going to be ok tho. Donovan and Simon out. Howard is going to be that guy.
Howard is so much of an upgrade over McCord.
They should really discourage QB's from doing a baseball slide. It's supposed to protect the QB but it just encourages targeting.
please keep iggy out the first play of every game 😂 he did ts against Indiana first play last year. definitely don’t need to lose him
As a Michigan fan lets just say well have an interesting game LMFAO
Buckeyes are blowing you out something like 41-17
That snapper needs some more training hours. I am not even an Akron fan, but that hurts to watch!
91 days
smith is a rocket
For the first quarter, I guess Akron did not get the memo they were the lessor team. They really stepped up, then fell apart as the game went on.
Only one game in and I can tell...Howard > McCord
If Akron is getting to the quarterback.. Ohio is in big trouble! I'm betting on Penn State in week 5.
Smith and Tate = Olave and Wilson 2.0
Man it was packed for the first game of the season. What a Great team we have, this year we're crushing ttun and running back the National Championship 🏆
Nah he didn’t just get in 1 foot, he got in both. Bro 😭😭😭😭😭
Ohio state baby!!!
0:50 This is like the 15th year in a row where a ref has tried to call targeting against an Ohio State player who never came close to hitting the QB's head. I remember when Bosa got ejected for pushing the QB's chest.
He didn't even have to do that. He seen him sliding so why do that in the first place lol rather he hit him or not
Carnell smith might be the fastest player in NCAA history
