While the NC State offense has its fair share of things to clean up from the home opener last Thursday, the same thing can be said for the Pack on defense as Tony Gibson and company prepare for what is going to be a fast-paced Tennesse offensive scheme on Saturday night.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No. 2 Ohio State was not messing around on Saturday night. The Buckeyes hosted Western Michigan in primetime and played as well as could be expected under the lights at Ohio Stadium, beating the Broncos 56-0. After head coach Ryan Day said there was room for improvement in all facets in the season-opening 52-6 win against Akron, there is little to be frustrated about from this performance. The Scarlet and Gray offense scored early and often. The defense once again was dominant, flying all over the field and delivering big hits. When the starters came out of the game in the second half, the backups kept their foot on the gas, playing as if the score was 0-0.
