Coming off a 20-point season-opening win against Indiana, the Buckeyes opened their home schedule with a 35-7 win against Youngstown State: Ohio State's first Football Championship Subdivision opponent since 2013.
With quarterback Kyle McCord at the helm, Ohio State recorded 482 yards of offense, averaging 8 yards per play and scoring five touchdowns. The Buckeyes' defense allowed seven points and 234 yards of offense, while the Penguins averaged 4 yards per play.
Here's how fans reacted to the Buckeyes' first home win of the 2023 season.
What would Urban Meyer have done against Youngstown State?
I know I’m somebody Kirk Herbstreit would consider a psychopath, but I thought that was a pretty uninspiring effort by OSU. That’s a game where every player should look like an All-American and you totally empty the bench in the fourth quarter. Urban Meyer wins that game 77-0.

Ohio State 'Everything is being made so hard for no reason'
Even when things are going well for this Ohio State team it feels like it’s so tight and difficult. Everything is being made so hard for no reason and it doesn’t look like anyone is having any fun

Fans are already viewing Kyle McCord as Ohio State's starting QB
Devin Brown will have his chance all next season. He will be a one and done qb. This is Kyle McCords year. You have to play him the full game next week to get his rhythm before ND week 4 #OhioState
