Of all the players one might have guessed would score a touchdown for Ohio State against Penn State on Saturday, Jerron Cage likely wasn’t near the top of anyone’s list.
Ohio State had already scored five defensive touchdowns this season going into Saturday’s game, so it wasn’t a shock to see the Buckeyes’ defense score yet another touchdown by themselves against the Nittany Lions. Ohio State safety Ronnie Hickman said the Buckeyes had actually talked before the game about which defensive player would score for them this week. But no one said Cage’s name.
“Nah, I ain’t gonna fake it, no one said his name,” Hickman said with a laugh after Ohio State’s 33-24 win.
