The Buckeyes scored twice within the first six minutes and six seconds of Saturday’s game — but the feeling of electricity in The Shoe started long before that.
By the time TBDBITL dotted the “I” in Script Ohio, the energy was undeniable. It translated to the players’ performances as C.J. Stroud + Cade Stover partnered up for the first two touchdowns of the game — and Stover’s first two touchdowns ever as he literally flipped into the end zone.
OSU didn’t stop there — not even close. They finished with a 52-21 victory. And they’ll be back at it in The Shoe next Saturday for homecoming. Go Bucks. 🏈
THE WRAP
Today’s issue was written by City Editor Hanna.
Editor’s pick: I have two editor’s picks for today after spending Saturday at The Shoe.
1. Remember our Q+A with Matt “Big Matt” Leininger? I think his presence at football games makes all the difference + if you make it to a game, look for him on the scoreboard with a red microphone.
