Ohio State’s defense got back on track in a big way during their 62-3 annihilation of Nebraska. The Silver Bullets hadn’t been playing poorly by any means, but they had allowed 20-plus points in each of the past three games.
The Cornhuskers couldn’t move the ball on the ground or through the air. If it wasn’t for a lucky tipped reception that turned into a 26-yard gain early in the first quarter, Nebraska may have not scored at all. Overall, Ohio State held the nation’s No. 10 team to just 204 total yards — nearly half their average of 404.
