Ohio State Football is officially on the board for 2023.
The Buckeyes are in Bloomington taking on Indiana for the season opener. While all eyes were on Kyle McCord, the Buckeyes used a balanced attack to methodically move the ball down the field on the opening drive.
Buy Buckeyes TicketsTreVeyon Henderson took the bulk of the carries until the Bucks got into the red zone. A combination of Chip Traynum and Miyan Williams finished off the drive with Williams taking it in for the first score of the season. Buckeye Nation seems pretty excited about the fast start to the season.
Let’s check out some of the social media reactions.
Miyan is tough to tackle
Truth: @OhioStateFB's Miyan Williams is so tough to bring down. 💪

Williams is difficult to tackle.
Not a bad comparison
I love Miyan Williams. The dude leans into contact and uses it to gain momentum. He's like a faster Master Teague.

Interesting comparison here, what do you think?
That is a loaded running back room
Full use of the pair and a spare for Ohio State on that drive:
TreVeyon Henderson: 4 carries, 20 yards
Chip Trayanum: 1 carry, 17 yards
Miyan Williams: 1 carry, 7 yards, TDAnd the Buckeyes have Evan Pryor and Dallan Hayden, too…

Ground game looked good on the first drive.
We got some "Dawgs" out there
Miyan Williams is a Dawg but that was one hell of a block pic.twitter.com/NOW4bwhqbi

The offensive line deserves a lot for credit for the backs success.
Effecient all around
Kyle McCord’s first drive as the starting QB ends with a touchdown. #Buckeyes lead, 7-0
Miyan Williams rushes 7 yards for the score.
McCord’s opening stats: 3-4 passing for 28 yards. 1 carry for 8 yards.
