  C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes to Marvin Harrison Jr., TreVeyon Henderson ran for another two scores and No. 3 Ohio State raced past Arkansas State 45-12 on Saturday. Harrison had a career-best seven catches for 184 yards. Coupled with his three-touchdown performance as a first-year player in the Rose Bowl last season, Harrison became only the second Ohio State receiver to have a pair of three-touchdown games in his career. Joey Galloway had multiple touchdown games in 1993 and '94. Stroud, a Heisman Trophy favorite, had 207 passing yards and a pair of 42-yard touchdowns to Harrison in the first half. He finished 16 for 24 for 351 yards and four touchdowns as the Buckeyes (2-0) rolled up 538 yards.

Henderson busted through for an 8-yard scoring run in the first quarter and a 23-yard romp to open the second half. He finished with 10 carries for 87 yards. Kicker Dominic Zvada was responsible for all of Arkansas State's scoring, but Ohio State miscues set up the first two field goals. Penalties helped put the Red Wolves in range for a 30-yard Dominic Zvada boot in the first quarter. Blown coverage and a missed tackle on a long James Blackman pass to Champ Flemings got them in range for another. Blackman was 20 for 34 for 188 yards. Flemings caught 10 passes for 105. - Ohio State/AP College Football

  TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 1: 2. C.J. Stroud, rSo, QB, Ohio State, 6-3, 218,...Stroud threw two touchdown passes and Ohio State shut out No. 5 Notre Dame over the final 42 minutes in a gritty 21-10 victory on Saturday night. The Irish hung with the high-scoring Buckeyes for most of three quarters, frustrating Heisman Trophy finalist Stroud and putting together a couple of first-half scoring drives. Stroud finished 24 of 34 for 223 yards, two touchdowns and rushed three for net one yard. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

  Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has not yet been ruled out for Saturday's game against Arkansas State, according to Ohio State football coach Ryan Day. In an appearance on Big Ten Network on Monday afternoon, Day said the team is "hoping to have him back this Saturday." Smith-Njigba missed much of the season-opening victory over Notre Dame after suffering an apparent leg injury on the Buckeyes' second offensive series. Day did not specify the nature of the Big Ten single-season receiving yardage record-holder's injury. A 24/7 Sports report Sunday night characterized it as a low-grade hamstring injury that might require multiple weeks' absence. Smith-Njigba managed only two receptions for 3 yards against Notre Dame. He attempted to return to the game after missing a few series, but shut it down for the night early in the third quarter. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 1: 6. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jr, WR, Ohio State, 6-0, 198,...Jaxon Smith-Njigba, a potential Heisman Trophy contender and the top-rated receiver on NFL Draft Scout, is expected to miss a game or two due to a low-grade hamstring injury Saturday in the No. 2 Buckeyes' season-opening, 21-10, victory against Notre Dame. Smith-Njigba will undergo an MRI this week to confirm the low-grade diagnosis, but the junior reportedly had good range of motion in initial tests. The junior from Rockwall, Texas led Ohio State with 95 catches for 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021. His absence will leave a hole for Ohio State as Smith-Njigba is the only receiver on the Buckeyes' roster who posted more than 200 receiving yards last season. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

Well, Ohio State controlled the ball to close out the victory with impressive play in the fourth quarter especially. Advantage: Johnson. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

The Irish offense was ripped by fans who thought it was to unimaginative and boring, but credit goes to the Buckeyes for giving up only 253 total yards, 177 through the air and no touchdown passes. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

  SEPT 5 BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK: CJ Donaldson, WVU, RB, Fr.,...In the first game of his collegiate career, Donaldson scored his first touchdown on a five-yard rush in the third quarter against No. 17 Pitt. His first career carry went for 44 yards and he finished with a game-high 125 yards on seven carries. Donaldson is the first Mountaineer to rush for 100 yards in his collegiate debut since Martell Pettaway on Nov. 26, 2016, at Iowa State. The freshman also blocked a punt in the third quarter, West Virginia's first since Logan Thimons on Sept. 14, 2019, against NC State. - Big 12 Football

  Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, a potential Heisman Trophy contender and Draft Scout’s top-rated receiver - sixth overall - took a hit Saturday in the first quarter that popped his helmet off. He returned for a series in the second quarter but by the third quarter he was out of the game and finished with two catches for three years. The hit occurred on the first play of Ohio State's drive with 7:06 remaining in the first quarter against Notre Dame, when Smith-Njigba caught a 4-yard pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud. Notre Dame's Cam Hart and Brandon Joseph were credited with the tackle, which ended out of bounds as Smith-Njigba's helmet flew off and he landed awkwardly. Smith-Njigba didn't immediately return to the game. ESPN reporter Holly Rowe said on the broadcast Smith-Njigba was talking about the back of his left knee and his hamstring. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

  With its vaunted offense bogged down, No. 2 Ohio State leaned on its revamped defense in a top-five opener against a former Buckeye that tested its toughness. C.J. Stroud threw two touchdown passes and Ohio State shut out No. 5 Notre Dame over the final 42 minutes in a gritty 21-10 victory on Saturday night. "The story of the night was the defense, to turn around and play the way they did after what's been said about them in the off-season, questioning their toughness, and play the way they did against the No. 5 team in the country...I thought the energy was off the charts for the defense tonight," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. The first regular-season meeting of the storied programs since 1996 was a homecoming for first-year Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman. The former Buckeyes linebacker has made a meteoric rise to lead the Fighting Irish at the age of 36.

Freeman is 0-2 as a head coach after losing a bowl game just weeks after being named Brian Kelly's successor. The Irish hung with the high-scoring Buckeyes for most of three quarters, frustrating Heisman Trophy finalist Stroud and putting together a couple of first-half scoring drives. "We battled for two and a half quarters, but then they scored with 17 seconds left in the third and we didn't respond," Freeman said. Ohio State's defense, too generous against the run last season, put the clamps on the Irish and new starting quarterback Tyler Buchner in the second half. "We were called soft all last year and we had to sit there and just eat," Ohio State defensive back Lathan Ransom said. Day turned over his defensive staff in the offseason, bringing in Jim Knowles from Oklahoma State to be coordinator. How quickly the Buckeyes would pick up a scheme that is considered more complicated and multiple than the one they have been running was an open question. - Ohio State/AP College Football

As a true freshman, Henderson ran for 1,272 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. He was sixth in yards per rush among all FBS running backs and was No. 12 in yards after first contact.

Stroud is the leader of what should be a high-powered offense at Ohio State. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season and coach Ryan Day says he has seen growth and maturity from his quarterback. If all goes as planned, Stroud very well could be back on the Heisman list once this season is over. - ESPN.com

Last year's ranking: NR. Johnson played all 13 games last season at right guard, but with left tackle Thayer Munford gone, Johnson is going to be the new starting tackle for the Buckeyes. He had a good season at a new position in 2021, and moving over to his natural position should pan out to another excellent season. - ESPN.com
