Ohio State Buckeyes Lead at Halftime Against Nebraska

In a tightly contested first half, No. 4 Ohio State leads Nebraska 14-6, having out-gained the Cornhuskers 197 yards to 115. Ohio State's quarterback, Kyle Howard, connected on two touchdown passes of 40 and 60 yards, while Nebraska's John Hohl made two long field goals, including a 54-yarder that tied for the sixth-longest in school history. Nebraska's defense recorded three sacks, showcasing resilience despite early special teams struggles that put them in a difficult position. The Buckeyes also missed a field goal attempt, which could have extended their lead. Coach Matt Rhule's squad, looking to rebound from a disappointing loss to Indiana the previous week, hopes to find success against Ohio State in a challenging environment. The game marks a critical opportunity for Nebraska to secure bowl eligibility for the first time in eight seasons.
