Ohio State started strong, building a comfortable 28-10 lead by the third quarter. Miami almost pulled off a stunning comeback, but Ohio State’s defense held strong in the final minutes to secure the win.

Julian Sayin completed 14 out of 24 passes for 256 yards. He threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Smith in the second quarter and connected with Will Kacmarek for a 43-yard gain in the third.

That turned out to be the final points scored by Ohio State’s offense. Quarterback Kyle McCord almost threw an interception that would have cost his team dearly in the third quarter. Wesley Bissainthe intercepted a pass and ran it back 56 yards for a touchdown, extending the opponent’s lead to 28-17.

Carson Beck had a tough game, with three interceptions and no touchdowns. The only reason the game stayed close was thanks to the strong performance of the defense and special teams, who actually outscored the offense. While Ohio State has a very good defense, Beck really needed to step up his game.

Miami briefly rallied, scoring 15 points to get within three, but their offense stalled and they didn’t score again in the last 13 minutes of the game. They had a quick possession after their last touchdown, but were forced to punt. Ohio State then continued to control the clock, and Miami regained possession once more.

The Hurricanes advanced to the 32-yard line, but a third interception by Beck with 1:58 left sealed their fate. Despite needing just a field goal to tie the game, Miami couldn’t capitalize and lost their chance to go into overtime.

Julian Sayin’s late-game quarterback run for a first down secured the win. The Buckeyes then ran out the clock by kneeling.
