Three points September 4, 2011 Source: Columbus Dispatch

Star of the game
Seven years after high school and starting his fifth year at Ohio State, 25-year-old Joe Bauserman made his first start at quarterback. He was nearly flawless, hitting 12 of 16 passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns (all to tight end Jake Stoneburner) and scrambling 15 yards for the first TD of the game.

Turning point
Andrew Sweat’s sweet leaping interception, courtesy of a tip from cornerback Dominic Clarke, late in the second quarter at the Akron 35-yard line. Four plays later, Bauserman hooked up with Stoneburner on a 2-yard TD pass, putting Ohio State up 21-0.

Repercussion
It was Luke Fickell’s first victory as a coach, and it was a dominating performance. Still, it came over a team that went 1-11 a year ago. Bigger challenges await, obviously, and that includes Saturday, when Mid-American Conference favorite Toledo comes to town. Click to Read the rest

VideoOhio State Akron Highlights September 3, 2011 Source: ESPN


It was over when... Ohio State's marching band dotted the "I". The Buckeyes never let Akron into the game.

Gameball goes to... Joe Bauserman. Terrelle Pryor's replacement finished with 195 total yards and four TDs.

Stat of the game... 1892. The last Ohio State coach to lose his debut was Jack Ryder in 1892.
