Ohio State Survives Against Nebraska with 21-17 Win

Ohio State narrowly defeated Nebraska 21-17 in a challenging game that exposed weaknesses, particularly in their offensive line, following the loss of left tackle Josh Simmons. The Buckeyes struggled offensively, gaining only 285 total yards, and their inability to run effectively or protect quarterback Will Howard led to a reliance on big plays to secure the win. Despite Nebraska's defensive prowess, Ohio State's talent prevailed, highlighted by two significant touchdown passes and a crucial interception by Jordan Hancock to seal the game. Nebraska, rebounding from a heavy defeat by Indiana, showcased improvements, particularly in defense, but couldn't capitalize in the red zone. Ohio State maintains a strong record against unranked opponents, but the performance raises concerns ahead of their upcoming game against Penn State.
