Ohio State came out a bit sluggish against Hawaii, scoring just 14 points in the first half, but the top-ranked Buckeyes cruised to a 38-0 victory. 

The Ohio State defense was dominant and held Hawaii to just 165 total yards on 61 plays. Joey Bosa returned to the starting lineup and was his normal disruptive self while Darron Lee had a pair of sacks. 

Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who many felt was underused in the Ohio State opener at Virginia Tech on Monday, got 27 rushing attempts against the Warriors and put together his seventh consecutive 100-yard rushing performance. Elliott had 101 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon, leading the way for Ohio State. 

OSU had Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett split time at quarterback against Hawaii. Jones started the game and went 12 of 18 for 111 yards, while Barrett was 8 of 15 for 70 yards. Neither had a touchdown pass or interception.

Braxton Miller wasn't as involved in this game as he was against Virginia Tech, but he still had six catches for 57 yards and two rushes for 16 yards.
