Miyan Williams rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown before leaving with an injury late in the first half, C.J Stroud threw five TD passes and No. 2 Ohio State buried Indiana 56-14 on Saturday. Williams went down awkwardly on his right ankle and had to be helped to a cart and taken to the locker room with 2:17 left in the half. That came after the Buckeyes had pushed the score to 28-7 on Williams' 48-yard scoring run. Williams has carried the load of the Ohio State running game the last two games with TreVeyon Williams out with injury. Ohio State hasn't disclosed a timetable for Henderson's return but could certainly run into some difficulty if both experienced backs are still on the shelf for the showdown with No. 3 Michigan in two weeks.

Freshman Dallen Hayden moved up to be the No. 1 back, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Xavier Johnson lined up as a back and ran for a 71-yard TD in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) had piled up 377 yards by the time Williams left the game and seemed to be back on track after struggling to beat Northwestern on a windy day the previous week. They finished with 662. Stroud, who passed for a season-low 76 yards against Northwestern, was 17 for 28 for 297 yards against the Hoosiers (3-7, 1-6), throwing two touchdown passes to tight end Cade Stover and one each to Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Kamryn Babb. Indiana's starting quarterback Connor Bazelak, who returned after sitting out last week's loss to Penn State with an injury, didn't last long. After the Hoosiers went three-and-out on their first three possessions, Bazelak was benched in favor of Dexter Williams II, who threw for two touchdowns, their only scores of the day. - Ohio State/AP College Football

Ohio State running back Miyan Williams injured his right leg and had to be carted the locker room in the first half of Saturday's game against Indiana. Williams already had rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown when he went down awkwardly on his ankle after a 4-yard gain with 2:17 left in the first half and the No. 2 Buckeyes leading Indiana 28-7. Williams has carried the load the last two games with TreVeyon Henderson sidelined with an injury. Ohio State hasn't disclosed details of Henderson's injury, but it could be problematic if both experienced backs are on the shelf for the matchup with No. 3 Michigan in two weeks. Williams broke away for a 48-yard touchdown run earlier in the second quarter, recording his fourth 100-yard game of the season. True freshman Dallen Hayden, who also had a first-half touchdown run, is the primary backup to Williams. - AP College Football

The junior was 21-of-37 for 296 passing yards with no interceptions. His completions and passing yards were both career highs.

Miyan Williams ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 2 Ohio State got all it could handle from Northwestern in a 21-7 victory on a rainy and windy Saturday. The Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) came in tied with Tennessee in the AP poll and trailing only the Volunteers in the season's first College Football Playoff rankings. But what figured to be an easy win turned into a struggle. Ohio State didn't score until the closing minutes of the first half, when Emeka Egbuka ran it in from the 15, with the rain and whipping wind not to mention Northwestern's physical play creating havoc. Williams gave Ohio State the lead with a 27-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He made it 21-7 when he scored from the 2 with about 4 1/2 minutes remaining in the game after C.J. Stroud broke a 44-yard run, and the Buckeyes came away with a tougher-than-expected win.

Stroud, the Big Ten leader in yards passing, set a career low with 76. He completed just 10 of 26 passes in his only game this year without a touchdown throw. Stroud, who came in with minus-4 yards rushing, ran for 79, helping the Buckeyes pick up their 10th straight win against Northwestern and 34th in the past 35 meetings. The Wildcats (1-8, 1-5) dropped their eighth straight, matching their worst skid since the 1998 team lost eight in a row. They are 5-17 since falling to Ohio State in the 2020 conference championship game. Evan Hull ran for 122 yards and a touchdown. Brendan Sullivan threw for 79, completing 10 of 14 passes, and the Wildcats remained winless since beating Nebraska in Ireland to start the season. Ohio State came came in averaging 48.9 points - second only to Tennessee - and hadn't scored fewer than 44 in a Big Ten game. But the ugly conditions and Northwestern's physical play in the trenches made for a tough time. - AP College Football

Quinshon Judkins rushed for 205 yards, Jaxson Dart passed for three touchdowns and No. 15 Mississippi beat Texas A&M 31-28 on Saturday night. Judkins had a 1-yard touchdown run with 7:18 remaining, helping Mississippi rebound from its first loss of the season. He is up to 1,036 yards rushing on the season. Dart threw touchdown passes of 18, 1 and 2 yards. He was 13 for 20 for 140 yards, and also had 17 carries for 95 yards on the ground. Zach Evans, who missed last week's 45-20 loss to LSU with a leg injury, returned against the Aggies and rushed for 75 yards. Jonathan Mingo had four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown for the Rebels (8-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference). Ole Miss rushed for 391 yards, including 134 yards in the first quarter, and finished with 530 total yards.

Connor Weigman was 28 of 44 for 338 yards and four touchdowns for Texas A&M (3-5, 1-4).

Trailing 14-7 in the first quarter, the Rebels reeled off the next 17 points. Ole Miss had a field goal before halftime, and Dart connected on touchdown passes to Casey Kelly and Mingo to take a 24-14 lead with a minute left in the third. - Mississippi/AP College Football

J.T. Tuimoloau had a strip sack to set up No. 2 Ohio State for a separation-score in the fourth quarter and then a pick-6 to cap a spectacular performance by the defensive end as the Buckeyes erased a fourth-quarter deficit to beat No. 13 Penn State 44-31 Saturday. C.J. Stroud found his groove for Ohio State in the fourth quarter and finished with 354 yards passing as the Buckeyes (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) ran their winning streak in the rivalry to six in a row - none by more than 13 points. As has often been the case when these teams get together lately, the Buckeyes were a double-digit favorite and the Nittany Lions (6-2, 3-2) played them tough. In this case, though, Penn State didn't just hang around. The Nittany Lions went up 21-16 with 9:26 remaining in the fourth quarter on a tough 1-yard touchdown run by Kaytron Allen on fourth down.

Ohio State outscored Penn State 28-3 the rest of the way, with Tuimoloau providing the key play after the Buckeyes went up 23-21. Tuimoloau also recovered the fumble after swiping the ball from Sean Clifford with 8:26 left in the fourth quarter. One play later, Stroud connected with Cade Stover, who rumbled through the Penn State defense for a 24-yard touchdown to make it 30-21. Tuimoloau also had his first career interception in the first quarter, a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage that resulted in Ohio State's first interception of the game and another sack. For his final act, Tuimoloau beat his block, reached up and grabbed Clifford's short pass attempt at the 14-yard line and cruised into the end zone to make it 44-24. Clifford threw for 371 yards and three touchdowns, but committed four turnovers. TreVeyon Henderson scored twice in Ohio State's fourth-quarter outburst, including a 41-yard run 35 seconds after Penn State took the lead. He added a 7-yard touchdown run with 2:52 left to make it 37-24. - Ohio State/AP College Football

10/24/22 - Zach Harrison, Sr/2023, Ohio State, 6-6, 269 (DS#10 DE) + More +

Everybody can't turn themselves in three years into a top-five pick the same way Chase Young and Nick and Joey Bosa did, yet they are the measuring stick for success. Those three are the outliers as generational talents in college football who just so happened to all be stacked back-to-back-to-back in Columbus. It took a while for Harrison to come to terms with that and stop pressuring himself to be something he's not. He doesn't have to be like any of those three to be an elite edge rusher for OSU. Now that he's figured that out, he's starting to tap into that which is helping elevate the defense. "It's definitely a process," Harrison said. "I definitely feel like I've come into myself more as a man, as a person and as a player. I've definitely matured a bunch and that's just part of realizing that everybody's journey is different. Not everybody comes into college is three-and-out (and) goes No. 2 overall. That's not common. I just put one foot in front of the other and just keep playing. "This year, I've learned this is how I rush, and these are the things I can do well," Harrison said. "I stopped trying to be somebody else and just play how I play." Harrison's performance against Iowa feels like a turning point in a career that has been underrated at times because his sack numbers haven't been eye-popping the way we've grown accustomed to seeing.

Both of his tackles resulted in a loss of yardage, and one of them was a strip sack. Then he tipped a pass at the line of scrimmage, which paved the way for Tanner McCalister's second interception of the afternoon. He's taken the long road to maximize his natural talent, but it seems as if Harrison has finally tapped into the best version of himself. He may be turning himself into a first-round NFL Draft pick in the process while leading a unit that's getting back to dictating the line of scrimmage in a way it hasn't consistently done since 2019. "Zach's playing some of his best football right now, and our defensive line, they're playing with an edge," Day said. "You can feel it out there. You can feel how fast they're playing, but Zach has really come along. He's practiced really well, his leadership's been good, and I think you guys would agree is by playing his best football right now." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

10/22/22 - *C.J. Stroud, rSo/2023, Ohio State, 6-3, 214 (DS#1 QB) + More +

C.J. Stroud overcame a slow start to throw four second-half touchdown passes, Ohio State's defense took advantage of six Iowa turnovers and the second-ranked Buckeyes pulled away for a 54-10 rout of the Hawkeyes on Saturday. Tanner McCallister had two interceptions and Tommy Eichenberg had a pick-6 as Ohio State took advantage of an inept Iowa offense to consistently start drives with good field position. Miyan Williams rushed for a first-half touchdown, and Stroud threw to Marvin Harrison, Emeka Egbuka, Julian Fleming and Mitch Rossi for second-half touchdowns. Noah Ruggles contributed four field goals after kicking just two in the previous six games.

The game wasn't pretty early for the Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten), who struggled to finish drives against Iowa's top-10 defense before Stroud and Co. caught fire late. On Iowa's first play from scrimmage, Spencer Petras threw right into the arms of McCallister. Ohio State took over at the Iowa 32 but had to settle for a 46-yard field goal. Later in the first, on Ohio State's first play after an Iowa punt, defensive end Joe Evans came through the middle untouched and smashed into Stroud, who fumbled at his own 11. Evans scooped it and trotted in for what would be Iowa's only touchdown. Linebacker Eichenberg's pick-6 gave Ohio State a 26-10 lead at halftime. Backup quarterback Alex Padilla took over for Petras in the third quarter and on the second play was picked off by McCallister at the Iowa 15. Four plays later, Stroud roped a 6-yard TD pass to Harrison and extended the lead late in the third with a 13-yard pass to Egbuka. Stroud hit Fleming in stride tearing down the middle for a 79-yard TD, and then tossed a short scoring pass to Rossi. - Ohio State/AP College Football
