COLUMBUS, Ohio No. 25 Michigan State brought a top-10 defense to Ohio Stadium, and for one quarter kept No. 4 Ohio State in a 20-yard phone-booth.Once the Buckeyes shattered the gla s, however, it was clear once again who the Big Ten's super-team is at the midpoint of the season. Ohio State (6-0) ripped off 296 yards as part of a 24-point second quarter that led to a 34-10 victory Saturday. The Buckeyes get a bye week after an undefeated first half of the season under first-year coach Ryan Day.This reinforced again that Ohio State can compete with Alabama and Clemson for the top team in college football, and that the rest of the Big Ten might not be able to catch up with this program for the foreseeable future Jayon Brown Jersey . Ohio State finished with 529 yards against the Spartans.MORE: Michigan State (4-2) kept it tight in the first quarter. The Spartans limited the Buckeyes to 16 yards all of which came through the air. Ohio State had 10 rushing attempts for zero yard in the first quarter, didn't get a first down on its first three po se sions and didn't hit a play of 20 yards or more."There were some mistakes made," Day said. "That was not a good quarter of football, but it was good. It was hard. You had guys kind of digging at each other, grinding, yelling at each other, and so we've gotta figure this thing out."The Buckeyes took advantage of two Michigan State turnovers to build a 3-0 lead despite the slow start on offense. Receiver K.J. Hill, who joked with quarterback Justin Fields after a Michigan State sack on the first series, converted the first third down for Ohio State.The first big play followed when Fields whose Heisman campaign continued with 206 pa sing yards, 61 rushing yards and three total touchdowns froze safety David Dowell on a scramble before pulling up and firing a strike to Binjimen Victor on the move. Victor beat Kalon Gervin down the sideline before leaping over Josiah Scott into the end zone."That was a great play and a great play call by coach," Fields said. "It was just the way we practiced it. Just going over Delanie Walker Jersey it that many times in practice that many times helped us execute it in the game."The 60-yard touchdown came with 12:12 left in the first half for a 10-0 lead. Michigan State answered with its own touchdown drive, but the Buckeyes were just getting started.Fields' 35-yard scramble on a third-and-5 set up another touchdown; this time with a 21-yard pa s to Luke Farrell. J.K. Dobbins added a 67-yard run with 2:24 left in the half, and Fields led a field-goal drive in the final minute for a 27-10 halftime lead. Michigan State Dennis Kelly Jersey coach earlier in the week the goal was to make it a 12-round fight. Ohio State scored the knockout punch by halftime call it Round 6.Three of Ohio State's four chunk plays in the first half resulted in touchdowns. Those are the haymakers that land most, and Day said the Dobbins' run hit hardest."That was a home run hit right there that I think really changed the game," Day said. "Up to the point we would start getting it going a little bit, but that kind of turned it into a 300-yard quarter."Through the first of the season, the Buckeyes have scored 39 offensive touchdowns. A total of 23 of those are from 20 yards or more. Seven have been from 40 yards or more. That is the definition of a big-play offense, but it is still set up by the running game that piled up 323 yards in the final three quarters.Dobbins, who finished with 24 carries for 172 yards, set up Ohio State's last touchdown in the fourth quarter with a 29-yard run. The Buckeyes ended up with seven plays of 20-plus yards. Michigan State had just two plays of 20 yards or more and finished with 285 total yards.That is what separates Ohio State from the rest of the Big Ten: The damage from those big plays can wreck a game plan. The Spartans weren't built to play catch-up. No. Curley Culp Jersey 8 Wisconsin, No. 12 Penn State and No. 19 Michigan the last three ranked teams on the schedule will face that reality in the second half of the season.MORE: The most frightening part is Ohio State left enough on the field in the second half to not be satisfied. Fields threw his first interception of his career on the opening drive of the second half; another reminder he's just six games into what's going to be a productive career with Day. Fields said he had mixed emotions about the interception and claimed he might have been jinxed by talking about it last week. Day, meanwhile, took ownership."The conversation was I told him it was my fault," Day said. "The look was not the one we wanted in that look. Then I told him, 'I'm not always going to be right. You gotta make me right."If this give-and-take continues, then Day and Fields will get the chance to prove it against Alabama, Clemson or whoever makes the College Football Playoff field. The Buckeyes have just mi sed that stage the last two years and have not been there since a 31-0 lo s to Clemson in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl. Of the 10 remaining unbeaten teams left in the Power 5 not named Clemson or Alabama, Ohio State looks the best-equipped to break up that CFP championship matchup.Fields knows they are halfway there, and as always, looking for improvement. This might be the scariest a se sment of all."I think we showed flashes, but we weren't consistent the whole game on the offensive side Rodger Saffold Jersey of the ball," he said. "If we get better at that and be more consistent, then we will definitelybe one of the best offenses in the country."
