Ohio State leads Miami 26-17, and here are some quick thoughts at the break.
Stat of the half: Miami finished the first half with 103 offensive yards and 181 return yards. The Hurricanes had an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Best player in the half: Ohio State cornerback Chimdi Chekwa has recorded two interceptions against Jacory Harris, who threw three picks in the half. Chekwa showed good concentration on the picks, both of which were deflected. He hadn’t recorded an interception since 2008 against USC.
What Miami needs to do: Stop throwing interceptions! The Miami defense has done its job for the most part against Terrelle Pryor and co., but you don’t win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Harris and his receivers both have struggled at times, but there are opportunities to make plays down the field.

What Ohio State needs to do: Shore up the special teams…..
