Howard throws 2 TD passes to Smith to help Ohio State rout Tennessee 42-17 in CFP

Associated Press  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard threw two touchdown passes to freshman Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State routed Tennessee 42-17 on Saturday night in a first-round College Football Playoff game, setting up a New Year’s Day rematch with No. “You could tell from the jump that they had a look in their eyes that they were going to win this game,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “They made some plays — that’s going to happen against a good team, but what we didn’t do is to come back and find a way to get back on the right side of it, and that’s offensively and defensively.” The 473 yards gained by Ohio State was the most surrendered by the Tennessee defense all season. “I got after them at half time and challenged them, because I knew the way the game was going, as long as we did our job everything was going to turn out all right,” Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said.
