Nobody who watched Ohio State’s 48-7 romp over Nebraska on Saturday at Memorial Stadium needed a statistical analysis or complicated breakdown to understand why the Buckeyes rolled to an easy victory.
Still, among all of the numbers that skewed heavily in OSU’s favor, perhaps one stuck out above the others in terms of illuminating the extent to which the Buckeye defense put the clamps on NU’s offense.
No Husker wide receiver or tight end caught a pass until late in the third quarter when sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez finally hit junior JD Spielman for a 7-yard gain with the score 48-0 and the game, obviously, well in hand for the Buckeyes.
