Despite Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Record-Setting Day, Ohio State's Offense Sputtered In the Redzone for a Second Straight Week

Ohio State handed Nebraska it's biggest loss of the season Saturday. The deficit was a whopping nine points.

In it's previous six losses, the Cornhuskers were within eight every time. Scott Frost's team is without a doubt the "best awful team in America." Adrian Martinez is feast or famine at times and a bit turnover prove, but the Huskers defense held both Oklahoma and Ohio State to under 30, which is something you would expect from a defense as ballyhooed as Georgia's world-beaters.

The Buckeye offense looked amazing at times – Jaxon Smith-Njigba set a new school record for receptions in a game and was basically one catch away from setting the school record for receiving yards in a game – but continued to sputter in the red zone and to commit sloppy mistakes and untimely penalties.
