It wasn’t the dominant showing that Ohio State fans would have liked to see after the loss to Purdue and the bye week, but the Buckeyes did get back in the win column at Ohio Stadium on Saturday.
Despite trailing 21-16 at halftime, Ohio State battled back in the second half and hung on despite two fourth-quarter Nebraska scores for a 36-31 victory over the Cornhuskers.
The Buckeyes fell right into a deficit in Saturday’s game, as Adrian Martinez led Nebraska straight down the field on its opening possession of the game, running the ball seven times for 46 yards and completing his first three passes for 25 yards before Devine Ozigbo capped off the 12-play, 75-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.
