Junior quarterback Kyle McCord was sharp in his progressions, but overall did not wow spectators with his performance. The offensive side of the football should not raise cause for concern despite a pedestrian showing. The question that arises - and one that won’t be answered until the Buckeyes play a real opponent - was the defense dominant because the offensive line was not ready and the inexperienced quarterback play was apparent? There were questions answered, but after the spring, Ohio State is still a long way away from being where it needs to be to compete for a title. The defensive line created issues, the linebackers flowed well, and the secondary seemed much more comfortable in Jim Knowles’ scheme in year two. Freshman receiver Carnell Tate also showed he was not your average freshman with his touchdown later in the game.ĭespite, the few individual moments of brilliance by offensive players, the defense was dominant for the majority of the day. One of the more exciting moments was Chip Trayanum’s touchdown, which got Team Scarlet their first TD of the day. In front of a record crowd for an Ohio State Spring Game of 75,422 people in attendance, the Buckeye fans were treated to some explosive plays and a defense flying all over the field. The Buckeyes took a while to get going offensively, and the rhythm they found was later in the day as the defense dominated much of the first half. Spring football concluded for the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday after the annual Spring Game went final, with Team Gray (Defense) coming out on top over Team Scarlet (Offense) 40-31.
