This was a mess, from the very beginning, when Ohio State was offside on its first kickoff. Jayden Fielding somehow then booted three consecutive kickoffs out of bounds, leading to him being benched at halftime. The Ohio Stadium crowd cheered with substitute kicker Austin Snyder sent the ball into the end zone. And straight.

Here are five things we learned from Ohio State’s 49-14 win over Marshall on Saturday: Four of the Buckeyes ’ seven touchdowns against the Thundering Herd followed plays from scrimmage of at least 40 yards. Each one involved a different player.

All that Marshall coach Charles Huff wants is a chance, and he believes his team will provide it when they line up to play in 'the Shoe' at Noon on Saturday.
