COLUMBUS, Ohio – Dontre Wilson's parents didn't make it up from Texas for his first college game against Buffalo last week. They made it for San Diego State on Saturday, perched by The Blackwell team hotel as the Buckeyes came out in their suits for their walk to the Skull Session.

“Last week, seeing everybody else's parents there kind of made me sad,” Wilson said Saturday. “My parents being there this week gave me a boost of confidence.”

Maybe he was saving his first college touchdown for them.

“Nah,” Wilson said. “I did what I could do today.”

What he did in Ohio State's 42-7 win over San Diego State was rush five times for 51 yards, catch three passes for six yards, return one kickoff for 25 yards and in hisnine touches continue to tease Ohio State fans with what could be ahead. He also scored for the first time, getting in from seven yards out on an option pitch from Kenny Guiton for the first touchdown of the game.

“It was a feeling that I'll never get again,” Wilson said of that first-time TD. “I love scoring and for it to be my first college touchdown is a blessing.”

Of course, he could have had it last week if not for an ankle tackle on a swing pass.

“I was thinking about that all the time,” Wilson said. “That hurt. I wish I had that back. But I've got to move on and think about making plays. … I was just thinking no ankle tackles, no shoestrings. I've got to score. I'm way faster than a lot of people and I've got to prove that.”

So he did. With his father, stepmother, aunt and other family there to see it. By the way, Wilson said he hasn't hit top speed on the field yet.

“No sir, I haven't had the chance to,” Wilson said.

Though the touchdown on the option was as close as he's come.

“When I saw the endzone, I had to get there,” he said.

And there should be more to come.

“That's up to the coaches,” Wilson said. “I would love to touch the ball as many times as I can. Once I touch the ball I get going and I get a little spurt and make plays here and there. But really, it's up to the coaches.”

Chances are, they'll want more Wilson.
