Box Score: No. 18 Ohio State Buckeyes 29, UAB Blazers 15

Yet again, it wasn’t pretty, but the Buckeyes got the job done when they needed to. Two scores late in the second quarter and then a final touchdown in the fourth quarter — along with a two-point conversion — were the main positives on the day. Still troublesome: Braxton Miller’s passing accuracy and the tackling on defense.

This was a way closer game than the final score indicates, as the Buckeyes limp into Big Ten play starting next week.
