However he responds with a brief completion to Ryan Wingo <\/strong>on second down and scrambles for simply sufficient first-down yardage on third-and-3.
For all of the (extraordinarily legitimate) discuss of how a lot faculty soccer has modified, that was a throwback drive from Ohio State on its final posession.
The opening landing drive went for 13 performs, 80 yards and eight:01 of recreation clock.
Operating again C.J. Donaldson<\/strong> was an missed large get for Ohio State, which needed to change TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
