Jones completed 19-of-33 passes and had a third-quarter interception. “We’re starting to get on the same page as not just receivers or offensive line or things like that”.

Ohio State defeated Northern Illinois, 20-13, last week. Just as disconcerting to coach Urban Meyer have been the struggles of the players around Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett. “He threw for 288. We have to get those fixed”, said Meyer, who gave Jones’ performance merely an OK.

Right now, Jones still looks like a quarterback who could get OSU beat when you don’t expect it. (Which pretty much covers everybody on the schedule.) Michael Thomas, the most trustworthy worthy member of the receiving corps and beneficiary of busted coverage on his 38-yard TD catch to open the game, was more diplomatic in his appraisal of Jones’ seventh career start. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score for the Red Raiders (3-1, 0-1).

The two-point conversion failed. At his introductory press conference at Ohio State, Meyer shared the contract he’d signed, written up by his daughter, in which he promised to be more present in his personal life, in which he pledged not to be “overanxious” and vowed to consume three meals a day.

Facing a fourth-and-14 from Ohio State’s 20, Broncos kicker Andrew Haldeman attempted a 37-yard kick, but junior safety Tyvis Powell shot through the offensive line and blocked the field goal, a first for the Buckeyes since former defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins blocked one against Purdue in 2012.
