Love seeing Sprinkle dominate.
I'm with you Holybuckeye. I wasn't sold on the kid at first but he's definitely proving all of his doubters wrong so far.

Is the 5 1/2 sacks a misprint or is that legit? If it is legit I guess all the detractors can start trusting the staff a lil more.
No...looked it up. He did only have 8 tackles though. But the sacks were correct along with QB hurries. I can see now why they took his committment. He's a stud on the football field and has room to grow. He'll be like Adolph Washington I think as far as pass rushing abilities. Either way...OSU's d-line is going to be down right sick.

I'm curious to see how Taivon Jacobs did.
Even better list by Rivals. Jacobs: three receptions for 110 yards and one rush for 30 yards. Jacobs accounted for three total touchdowns which included an interception return for a score.
