A 75-yard scoring drive was as good of a start as the Marshall football team could have asked for against one of college football's blue-bloods and the offense likely only got the chance to make the game's first impression since the Herd lost the opening coin toss.

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.

Will Howard completed 80% of his passes, the second-best mark of his career as a starter, with 234 yards and two touchdowns coming on play action against Marshall.
