Ohio State waited out a weather delay then crushed Oklahoma 45-24 on Saturday night in Norman.
The third-ranked Buckeyes made it look easy at times, building a 35-17 lead in the first half with a balanced offense and a defense that continued to be stingy and greedy.
J.T. Barrett threw four touchdown passes, all to Noah Brown, who tied the school record for touchdown catches in a game.
Ohio State intercepted Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield twice in the first half, and linebacker Jerome Backer returned one of them 68 yards for a touchdown.
Barrett finished with 152 yards passing and 74 yards rushing while Mike Weber ran for 123 yards. Curtis Samuel added 98 yards and a touchdown on the ground while Brown caught five passes for 72 yards.
Marshon Lattimore also had an interception for Ohio State, which improved to 19-0 on the road under head coach Urban Meyer.
Mayfield finished with 226 yards passing and two touchdowns for the 14th-ranked Sooners.
One of Oklahoma’s touchdowns came on a 97-yard kickoff return on which Joe Mixon appeared to drop the ball just before crossing the goal line.
The game was delayed 90 minutes from its original start time.
