Arlington, Texas • Fourth-ranked Ohio State overcame the adversity of Urban Meyer’s absence and its toughest test so far — and is still undefeated for the return of the suspended coach.
Trailing No. 15 TCU and with star defender Nick Bosa in the locker room because of an apparent left groin injury, the Buckeyes scored three touchdowns in a four-minute span in third quarter — including a 28-yard interception return by big defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones — in a 40-28 victory Saturday night.
Ohio State still trailed 21-19 after a 2-point try failed, but TCU quarterback Shawn Robinson was under pressure on the ensuing third down when he tried to shovel a pass to his running back — but instead it went right to Jones, the 286-pound tackle who rumbled to the end zone.
