Ultimately, I guess it boils down to what your expectations are for the 2018 Ohio State football team. Mine are as follows: win as many games as possible before the end of the season (hopefully all of 'em, but I'll take two) with the Big Ten championship as a potential bonus, but either way, don't worry about the College Football Playoff. Spend a month learning not to suck in various areas in which Ohio State currently sucks a lot. Roll into the bowl game and utterly kick ass.
And that's it! So while I'm not okay with a five point home win over a bad (albeit improving) team, at this point in the season it doesn't surprise me. That also means that the goal of getting better is really all I need. On the other hand, if you believed or still believe that this is a potential national championship team, well...

THE ALUMNI
With the new kick off rules this year, why would Nebraska even think about trying to return a kick off...

We cant find an offensive lineman willing to get low and explode off the ball into the man across from them...thats the actual formula for being able to run the football...This doesnt look like an Ohio State Football team.

Figuring out target calls are like figuring out Babylonian arithmetic.

THE REST
Brendon White, 13 tackles, 2 TFLS in his first game with extensive playing time: "After the game, I started tearing up, because I just couldn't believe, growing up in Ohio, went to Olentangy Liberty 15 minutes from here...Being able to play at your dream school is pretty cool." pic.twitter.com/NPWsQ1Nlpe

And that's it! Next week will pose a stiffer test. Let's see if the Buckeyes have learned anything.
