Ohio State played Marshall on Thursday night to kick off their 2010 season and won convincingly (45-7) after allowing the Thundering Herd to only score on a blocked kick. The Buckeyes now start to prepare for the Miami Hurricanes who also played Thursday night. There was some concern that the Buckeyes might be looking past Marshall but the Conference USA team did present an equal match with OSU playing backup lines early and often during the primetime game. Miami beat Florida A&M 45 to nothing and will come to Columbus in 8 days ranked highly against a #2 nationally ranked Buckeye squad. Miami is currently ranked #13 but should move up slightly in the next AP poll.
