#4 Ohio State vs Minnesota Highlights | College Football Week 1 | 2021 College Football Highlights 

Gus said "2 Sweet" as he scored . Should be his nickname .

You didn't watch devonta Smith last year?

@@JackycClark Yeah I heard that. I was honestly blown away because I thought he stepped out of bounds. His footwork is incredible

@@vibesking8658 don’t mind him he clearly is wearing Scarlett glasses. This game is very concerning if your an Ohio st fan. Olave disappears when he plays an all conference or higher db. Which is why he did not leave early for the nfl. His tape is bad when he goes up against good to elite talent.

@@blankname6629 supreme L take right here

Surprising how good Morgan was. He was complete garbage before

@@tuffpuppy2030 He had over 3000 yards in 2019 when he had great targets to throw to. They were drafted by the NFL. These new receivers did pretty well and are starting to get on the same page with Tanner Morgan.

@@calcrappie8507 never knew yards matter

@@tuffpuppy2030 they went 11-2 in 2019 on the back of Bateman and Morgan.

@@reneearocho4798 Bateman, no Morgan

He’s in the NFL again

Hell yeah. More GUS

@@yaronenciu7781 o really?

@@sportstimemachine2102 for real 💯💯

@@Cade00711 Yup I’m pretty sure fox sports announced it like a few weeks ago

ohio state has always been a second half team as long as i can remember.

@@hoopsmccann639 all the great teams are second half teams. With that being said, stroud seem much more lax and at ease in the second half. Hopefully that translates into Oregon

Yea IMO Ohio state coaches seem like they where trying to coach in the worst predicaments, well Fleck said he will make OSU coaches coach and I think they gave him a great response and no disrespect to Minnesota cause they are a really good team but OSU coaches made the game close (which I predicted) I had Minnesota putting up 21-28 on us this was very much expected for me, but our coaches needed a challenge so they gave their selfs one, with starting two freshman at Cb and Seyvn Banks sitting out for no reason I think I seen OSU intent right there, we had 12 players out well 13 technically with Palaie Gaoteote (our most talented Lb) still not eligible yet, then on the offensive side we fed Miyan the ball 8 times and he averaged about 10 yards a carry and obviously couldn’t be stopped, I think this just goes to show you how dangerous this OSU team really is, they faced a pretty good team that’ll be ranked, at their house, at 8 pm first game of season and with 12 players out and practically forced CJ to get comfortable, I don’t see to many teams to beat this team when they are at full strength

@@chazemuney1590 I agree with most of what you said and as a buckeye fan and realist you’re right not too many teams will be able to beat this team when full strength. Cam Brown and Banks were both listed about 7hrs before the game as out, banks is still dealing with the leg injury that’s been nagging him in camp and with Cam I think with the weather and the injury he came off of they were already hesitant.. as much as the defensive secondary looked lost at times guys like ransom and burke looked very good. Miyan needs the ball more as does Trey, 3 totes for him freshman or not is not the way to go. with that OL we should be a run first team anyways and usually always have been. We have a lot of shiny toys but will be much easier to use them with that established run. Teams (even after last night) are going to try and make CJ beat them and if I were a defense I would too. Most of his throws were uncontested and guys were wide open. He has to just take care of the ball and make good decisions

@@michaelsizemore5911 I agree with that and I said that on another comment, CJ is what every other defense is watching they want him to beat them, because he is very talented but looked hesitant and way to nervous, like he’s use to being a backup now that wasn’t expected from me, I thought he’d make a quick transition and your right even the touchdown passes where cause our receivers getting open he has to take care of the rock but he’s hesitance will make him make bad decisions I love the fact our coaches forced him to get comfortable we kept airing it out even if we didn’t think it’ll work and came up with 2 scores cause of it and his interception was his fault but it did bounce of a guys hands still CJ fault cause he was clearly overthrowing guys and playing to nervous but I happen to believe that those are first game jitters I believe he turns it on against Oregon and steals the show there he’ll be the star of that game him and Olave will steal the show but for teams like Indiana, Penn state etc we are gonna have to beat them on the ground, I think we can beat Oregon on the ground to I just happen to know their secondary isn’t as good as their D line or linebackers

From the looks of Ibrahim's Injury look like like an achilles.

@@traycobra6825 I thought it was just a minor hyperextension, but when he had the walking boot on, knew it was was serious obviously. OSU pass defense was not good and run defense would be better if the pass defense had been better.

@Who Dat On offense yes they did on defense no they didn't stop with blatant hatred of osu.

Looks like the defense is very young lacking the usual playmakers.

starting CBs out lol that will do it

I wouldn’t say a turning point 😬

@@brlfilms9604 nah once osu took a 31-21 lead it was over

@@brlfilms9604 And Minnesota is a hell of a Good team

@@hehehehaworgrrr1513 nah OSU should’ve beat them at least by 3 tds

@@brlfilms9604 Learn how to count, dude. It was by two TDs.

they did not have a great chance to win this. They played as good as they could and capitalized on an OSU turnover and had moments in the game to make it a game but as bad as a first half and defense that OSU played i don’t think anyone was super concerned

Lol minnesota sucks

@@owen8321 as a buckeye fan I don’t think they suck. Their OL and RB are definitely up there with top teams but they seem to be more one dimensional and if Ibraham is out for an extended amount of time they are a different team and might struggle. I wasn’t impressed by their defense at all. CJ had all day to do whatever he wanted , maybe that’s why I am a little skeptical of his stats bc the YAC was way more impressive than the throws he made

yes...too many mistakes.

I agree with you but at the same time it’s a talent league and osu were clearly the more talented team

Cavezos is a future 1st rounder if he improves on the jersey grabbing.

@@ethanweeter2732 Yeah, I agree he seemed like a first day pick or Third round. Either way im not concerned . I Just hate that Oregon has to be the next game.

Has anyone seen Banks?? I promise he’s a CB1 is he injured or something?? Cause the secondary a little sus!

@@Antisatan7771 He tweaked something in warmups. He was dressed out but didn't play. Cam Brown our other CB didn't make the trip.

@@Antisatan7771 Banks and Brown were both absent from the game

Super impre4ssed with Wilson. i expected Olave to excel. wide receivers will open the good running game for end runs. i expect the OS offense to excel this year. Stroud is still a question mark but experience will do him a world of good. The offense may have to carry the defense this year. Or maybe the Gophers are for reaql this year. Their running game looks great and they can throw the medium range passes effectively. I guess next week at Oregon will show more of both Stroud and our defense.

Not that good. He will struggle against better defenses

He needs to get more comfortable and release that ball like he did in the spring game he looked great but last night looked off, yea Minnesota is good and your at their house but still some of those reads he overthrew it, OSU looking unstoppable it’s the Qb now that’ll be questioned and tested

@@chasjacks9378 Oregon will Def be better than Minnesota but I believe in my team Go Bucks !

@@lindseypyle5522 lol for that being his first game as a starter and also his very first throws at the collegiate level he will do just fine. Now go do something instead of pretending to know football. 🥱

Word. Went to search and was shocked. Good job. What’s your PayPal? That was worth a $5 tip.

ikr

OSU had no answer for him on the RPO's running off tackle.

OSU was a -400 favorite after the strip sack / touchdown .. The odds hardly shifted when Ibrahim went down. Disagree with this, Minnesota ran too much. 5 yards per play isn't getting it done against a team that's generating explosive plays against you. In fact, I'd argue OSU's injuries were more significant. - Missing starting Center -Missing 2 starting CBS -Best DB went down around the time Ibrahim did in Proctor Missing two starting CBs is a huge shift and CBs are more important than Rbs IMO.

Ibrahim looked great and I hope he gets back on the field soon, but every running back takes wear and tear. When the entire team leans on him I expect him to get banged up and hurt. Would've been an interesting game had he not been taken out of the equation

Agreed! Second half makes it seem like just first game/season jitters more than a growing pains season. He looked comfortable in the pocket in the second half!

True but he needs to run that ball also not just throw the ball.when he ran outa bounse he could have maybe got a 1st down atleast try

They're always bad, the rule needs a complete overhaul the same way targeting did a few years ago

Must be an OS fan. I am neutral, it was a good call.

Any contact to the head of a QB is roughing the passer. It's dumb but it's the rule

@Teyae T Ma'am, this is a Wendy's

But the no call for targeting wasn’t a shit call? Lol. Okay, OSU fan.

Their only player. What about the rest of the team? I thought this was an easy win. Guess not lol

@@homelessjokeasdas3090 lay off the liquor

@@homelessjokeasdas3090 you sound dumb, I don’t think any football team in cfb could beat Minnesota with 12 players out first game of the season at their house, and our best player look like Miyan Williams easily

@@chazemuney1590 Alabama could beat Minnesota with our second string

@@darthsaban8665 no y’all can’t stop with the BS!! Especially first game at their house! Just focus on your high school level opponent in Miami okay? Y’all better beat them by 14+ or y’all automatically suck this season

Your goal is to delivery first down. Short pass will open up the running game and the long pass. With a creation like that will give their defense to respecting your offensive from pounding you at well.

Cj stroud? Never heard of him, you must mean Cousin Fields

Defense needs to get healthy and some experience. The D-Line is good, but the secondary and LB corps is very inexperienced with Harrison and after losing Borland and Werner.

The defense will be much better by season's end. These first time starters need some game reps.

@@ethanweeter2732 I agree, and with the secondary i wish they’d stop teaching the CBs not to look for the ball. Hafley had an amazing secondary because of that.

@@jamarreid1082 I agree

Definitely will be I have been preaching how good the B1G will be this season hopefully people will start listening now, OSU is very good IMO playing against Minnesota with 12 guys out first game of the season at their house only only ran our 2 good Rbs a total of 9 times, Williams literally averaging 10 yards a carry almost

I would totally agree w u about Minnesota but they lost Ibrahim which is honestly tragic. Great player. Go bucks tho

BS you have 2 ranked opponents this year and only 1 is from the Big 10 and that's #19 Penn State ......your schedule is garbage and may lead to another blowout loss in the playoffs

Ill. Isn't good lol

Nahhhh

@Teyae T there’s a time and place for everything bro, keep it on dunday

I hope you’re right about Minnesota. The alternative is that OSU is a bit overrated this season and Minnesota is as good as they usually are. Only time will tell.

Ohio State always has a lot of depth because of the way they recruit. That's what makes it so difficult for schools like Minnesota to outplay them for an entire game rather than just one half. That said, I agree with your assessment about the weaknesses in their secondary

@Garrett Bailey I’m saying. I hate when they try to rotate backs so much. Same thing with Weber and dobbins couple years ago. Find your starter and feed him. Keep his groove on

@@mason9392 you can’t beat fresh legs though. Williams and Henderson will get the majority of the carries this year though.

@@MrStark30009 I think that's how it will go. In big games especially. That's basically what they did in the second half.

@Garrett Bailey we might be the only team in america complaining about a running back that averaged 4.8 yards a carry. Teague is great option in those short yardage carries. Not explosive like henderson or williams but hes a battering ram

I think Stroud has a good arm. Looked like most of the deep throws were effortless.

What's up Show Time

@@thebigchap101 what is going on !! Are you ready for some football !!!???!!!! Saturday is going to be lit with all the big matchups !!

Probably because Ohio state got all the calls

@Who Dat doesn't matter we WON...

wow osu really shook the whole country with this impressive win

@Who Dat No cause Minnesota didn't make that many mistakes I get you don't like osu but don't be dumb.

@Who Dat the Buckeyes had their share of mistakes

Had 12 players out

Touchdownnn Goffferrssss😂

He's lucky that wasn't targeting. The ref gifted him the no call and his next game because he wanted that game to finally end.

Yeah, that hit was dirty, it’s the exact play that the pros want to take out of the game, the kid was nearly knocked out cold because the defender lead with his helmet and hit the defenseless receiver in the head. Textbook targeting, doesn’t matter the intent.

@@r3_wastaken Nah, it wasn't a dirty hit at all. He was trying to make a big play, and he did. He was not leading with his helmet or the crown of his helmet, especially with no intention to injure a player. The WR lowered his helmet into the defender anyway, causing any kind of tiny contact. I am glad the reff over looked any kind of 'targeting' call, no one deserved to be thrown out the next game for anything... I am all for keeping players safe and keeping the dirty plays out of the NFL and Ncaa.. That is not what this was even closed to and Ohio State has never been a dirty team in my 20 plus years of watching them D: They won't start under Coach Day.

Huhhhhh ?.

ranked by week 10? not sure how to interpret that.

@@hoopsmccann639 I think he means that Minnesota will be like 8-2, 7-3 after 10 games which would probably land them in the top 25 at that point. Minny might give Wisconsin a run for the B1G west

@@jcelldogs right on. i haven't looked at their schedule, but they should be contenders.

I predict it will happen week 8 or 9

reason they say that they all sucked last year which you expect because it was a covid year

@@tonyboi8896covid didn’t effect Alabama

Should be a good game... Good luck

Stroud has a cannon he just needs to get rid of those jitters for the big game next week

@ybk lamar oregon

Facts

Not to mention it was raining, stroud also kept looking down at his hand as tho the ball was slipping

Gopher fan here. We'll see. The Gophers secondary is awful. Anyone could have made most of those throws. Guys were wide open. Granted OSU's WRs are elite, but I wasn't super impressed.

@@randallperkins7944 was stroud the guy out there missing tackles and getting pushed backwards? Linebackers and middle of the d line is very suspect

@@robmichael8136 facts one of the reasons why I do not like Justin fields as an nfl qb. He is used to the wr being yards open. Which is not something that happens anywhere near as often on Sundays.

Yea didn’t lead with the head good call

@@matthewwoolf6198 Shoulder it was clean. Just a very unfortunate result.

I'm sure you would have thought the same thing if the teams were reversed.

You don't have to leave with the head. That was absolutely targeting according to the rule. Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

@@get_yokedonpsn6709 since when did the shoulder and all that sh*t count??? lmao, you can only hit woth the helmet for targeting!

Red Shirt Freshman not a true freshman

@@damonbigsbyschannel7948 Not really the point, but okay…

I hope quinn beats him out his arm is crazy talented

@@u121386 u mad bro? Lol. Salty ass.

@@dorianfrancis2948 Tf you talking about? lmao 😂

Of course not. Especially with a 19 year old fresh qb.

Except that Ohio St called off the dogs halfway through quarter 4. Once they got up (because of the strip sack) 10 or 14 it was over.

Didnt matter honestly. They woulda lost either way. No chance.

facts, refs are finally not calling these retarded targeting calls as much

Its actually nice to see big hits with no flags coming in from 10 directions

And the ref did nothing about it and said it was not targetingt that’s fucking bullshit🤬I’m not either one of their team fans but I know when I see bad calls

@@jimmopar4447 Bruh that was all shoulder 100% clean

Completely different style. Think Reggie bush usc. Elliott is and was a much more powerful runner. This guy is a speed guy who can catch the ball out of the backfield as demonstrated by the long td catch.

I thought after watching this game that number 28 and number 32 looked great. Not a Ohio State fan. But they have two really good young RBs.

That big 4th and 1 run was nice and assisted. Watch #77 for Minnesota. Full arm extension on that hold. lol.

I'm guessing it's because there was no helmet-to-helmet contact. That guy was defenseless and he was hit and that head-neck area.

@@tregaming8616 the targeting rule prohibits players from making forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of the helmet, which the NCAA defines as “the portion of the helmet above the level of the top of the facemask.” i think he hit him with his facemask, and that's why it wasn't called.

@@hoopsmccann639 The angles shown on the broadcast, which I notice weren't included on this OSU fanboy channel, clearly showed the first contact was from the crown of the helmet to the receiver's helmet. His head slid up and over the receiver's helmet after the first impact knocked the guy out, but this is exactly the type of hit they instituted these rules for. That receiver hadn't even fully regained his balance after stretching for the ball and the defender could have easily wrapped him up somewhere other than leading with his head. Total bullshit that they didn't even review it for targeting, even though that's what the network put on the screen.

@@jefflarson1652 excuses let the young men play football. About 20 years ago it would be a good hit

@@hoopsmccann639 it also prohibits defenders from using their helmet, shoulder, elbow or hand to make forcible contact to the head or neck area. Doesn't have to lead with the head or crown of the helmet for it to be targeting.

Keep in mind our starting CBs were out yesterday. Plus the first game is always rough. Hopefully by next week we’ll be a lot better

@@k80.01 hopefully and good point. Seem to recall hoping the SAME thing last year😂😂 Still. I’m very optimistic. My first opener out of Columbus yesterday and I’m ready to move back.

I'm just not sure Kerry Coombs is a good defensive coordinator. Great DB coach, great recruiter, but hasn't shown much as a DC.

@@dlshigh the tackling was atrocious. And pick a set of linebackers and go. I’m all for rotation but it was a relay race watching them sub. Seems again fundamentals might be an issue and that’s so discouraging. And agree on Combs. Not sure he’s DC material? Hope he proves me wrong!

actually, they have a good coach...the team..eh?
