With a late-November Big Ten road game and the Buckeyes’ undefeated record hanging in the balance in College Park, Ohio State put the ball in the hands of a true freshman. Over and over again.
And Dallan Hayden delivered. Over and over again.
Miyan Williams sat out with an injury. TreVeyon Henderson left the game in a walking boot. Hayden took every carry at running back for Ohio State in the second half of a game it trailed at halftime, and the first-year Buckeye helped lead his team to a come-from-behind victory, 43-30, with 146 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries.
