Western Michigan Rewind and Results Around the Big Ten

Sure, we’re a little late in dropping this week’s episode due to some vacation travel, but we haven’t forgotten to give you a brand new episode of the Silver Bullets Podcast. Ohio State improved to 2-0 on the young 2024 season by virtue of a 56-0 smackdown of the Western Michigan Broncos. Against Western Michigan, the Buckeyes looked like the team we expected to see in the opener against Akron, but they say the biggest improvement during the college football season comes between Games 1 and 2.

The Buckeyes played with energy from the jump and were relentless throughout the game in putting pressure on the Broncos on both sides of the ball. We broke down the game, discussed what we liked and what we would have liked to have seen more of, checked on the performances of the players we picked to click, and compared our score predictions to see who got closer to calling the final score correctly.

After our Ohio State-Western Michigan rewind, we ran back the scores from all the other games involving Big Ten teams, as well as some surprises around the upper echelons of college football. Illinois picked up a big win, Penn State and Oregon were less than impressive in narrow home victories, and Michigan was humiliated at home. Notre Dame’s playoff chances took a big blow on Saturday as well. It was a crazy weekend.

The Buckeyes have the weekend off, so there’s no preview this week, but we’ll be back in our usual time slot early next week to discuss the happenings around the program, how the rest of the league made out during Ohio State’s bye week, and the upcoming matchup with Marshall.
