Well, that didn’t take long. After the Ohio State offense got pinned inside its own five-yard line, a balanced dose of running and passing moved the ball in large chunks. TreVeyon Henderson broke a 41-yard run to get the Buckeyes into Red Wolf territory. A few plays later, C.J. Stroud found Marvin Harrison Jr on a crossing route where Harrison did the rest of the work going 42-yards for the score.
The opening drive was a nice mix of the running game which set up some easy pitch and catch plays which saw Stroud complete three of four attempts for 50 yards.
