In a game that was perhaps expected to be an opportunity for Ohio State to be able to bring in some more of its players off the bench, the Buckeyes ended up playing their second-lowest total of players of the entire season in their ninth game of the year on Saturday against Nebraska.
As the Buckeyes didn’t ice the game until the final minute and won the contest by a score of only 36-31 over the 2-7 Cornhuskers, Ohio State used only 58 players against Nebraska, the fewest amount of players to see the field in a game for the Buckeyes since their third game of the season against TCU.
