#3 Ohio State Buckeyes overwhelm FAMU Rattlers

COLUMBUS, OHIO — It was clear by halftime that No. 3 Ohio State would surpass the predicted 57-point spread over FAMU, given the rapid pace that the Buckeyes were getting into the end zone early.

Yet, Rattlers coach Earl Holmes could be seen on the sidelines pleading with his players to find ways to stem the tide Saturday afternoon.

“We don’t want a pity party,” Holmes said after the Buckeyes finished the onslaught with a 76-0 victory in front of 103,595 fans at the Horse Shoe Stadium.



Evan as the Rattlers found themselves in a 55-0 hole and reeling like an overmatched boxer with a bloodied face, Holmes said his team needed the work that it got in a game.

“Those guys are working on some things and you had some backup guys in there that are trying to do some things and you’re trying to find out what kind of team you have,” he said. “At the same time, you try to prepare for your next opponent.”
