Ohio State’s one-two punch at running back was reduced to only one for the second week in a row.
In Ohio State’s first game of October against Rutgers, it was Miyan Williams who carried the load with TreVeyon Henderson unavailable to play due to injury. Williams seized the opportunity and ran for 189 yards and a school-record-tying five touchdowns on 21 carries.
Against Michigan State on Saturday, it was Henderson who carried the load – at least for the first half – with Williams sidelined by an injury of his own. Henderson also made good on the opportunity to show what he could do as the bellcow back as he ran for 118 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.
