Quotebook: OSU had some rust to shake off, Tanner McCalister is 'like a son' to Jim Knowles and Ryan Day thought 'we ain't getting Zach (Harrison)' at one point in his recruitment.
Even on a day that saw the Buckeye score just one touchdown on its first 10 possessions, the scarlet and grayon a Kirk Ferentz-led Iowa team than any before them. While red-zone struggles were a theme early on, the Buckeye defense never let Iowa into the game and the Ohio State offense got rolling in the second half.
But Ryan Day said Smith-Njigba had simply exhausted his “pitch count” at that point, and was never going to play more than 20 snaps against the Hawkeyes. “Tanner's like a son to me. These guys, you become very close to these guys. So to see him take the challenge – there's nothing easy about coming to the Ohio State and him earning and proving himself all over again. It's always good to see someone succeed who you care about, and who's put himself on the line. And he's invested a lot in me by coming here.”
Eichenberg, who also had a tackle for loss and a pass breakup, said it’s been a while since he’s gotten in the end zone. It was the first of his Buckeye career, but perhaps the first since elementary school as well.
