COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott scored three touchdowns on short runs as No. 1 Ohio State started slowly but scored a flurry of points late in a 38-0 win over Hawaii on Saturday.
Elliott score on 1- and 3-yard runs in the first half, and added a 1-yard score with about nine minutes left for a 24-0 lead.
The Buckeyes (2-0) add two more touchdowns, with safety Vonn Bell scooped up a fumble and ran 14 yards less than two minutes later and Bri’onte Dunn then ran for another score.
Cardale Jones made his first start at quarterback at Ohio Stadium, and passed for 100 yards. He fumbled twice, but recovered each one. J.T. Barrett replaced him for the final three series of the second, but Jones returned to start the third quarter.
Hawaii quarterback Max Wittek threw for 67 and had two interceptions. Rainbow Warriors running back Paul Harris, a Columbus native, ran for 46 yards on 14 carries.
Hawaii is 1-1.
