Well, that was fun. Ohio State hosted the Tennessee Volunteers for a first round College Football Playoff matchup, and it was all Scarlet and Gray. The Buckeyes rushed out to a 21-0 lead and were off and running — er passing — from there. OSU threw for over 300 yards and — yes, still won the rushing battle despite it all.
Not only was it a prime time affair, something OSU fans had been yearning for, but Ohio State donned the all scarlet uniforms to make for some fantastic eye candy our USA TODAY photographers were able to capture in high-resolution photos.
We like to share the best of those after each Ohio State game and we’ve got some snapshots of all the action for you to scan and reflect upon. Happy viewing.
