Quinshon Judkins - Stymied in otherwise dominant win Judkins totaled 14 rushes for 36 yards and reeled in all two targets for seven yards during Saturday's 38-15 win against Indiana.
Impact Judkins averaged fewer than 3.0 yards per carry for the second time in the last three weeks. The 219-pound junior has been used as more of a power rushing threat while operating alongside TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins has benefitted with more touchdowns in the red zone than his counterpart this season, but Ohio State's offensive line has recently dealt with injuries and has struggled to generate much push up front in the rushing game all season. Judkins will look to push his way back into the end zone this coming Saturday as the Buckeyes' look to beat their archrival Michigan for the first time since 2019.

TreVeyon Henderson - Finds the end zone in win Henderson accrued nine carries for 68 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all three targets for five yards during Saturday's 38-15 victory over Indiana.
Impact Henderson scored just his second touchdown since Week 4 when he pushed his way into the end zone for a four-yard score in the second quarter. The senior running back was also much more effective despite logging fewer carries than the team's leading rusher Quinshon Judkins, who tallied 14 rushes for 36 yards Saturday. Henderson also could've had another touchdown with just under two minutes remaining, but he slid short of the goal line for a 39-yard rush, which set up a one-yard score for quarterback Will Howard. Over the last four games, Henderson has averaged 70.3 rushing yards and 21.8 receiving yards despite serving as more of the 1B rusher for the Buckeyes. He'll look to continue making an impact despite a relatively small workload during next week's regular-season finale against Michigan.

Emeka Egbuka - Catches red-zone TD in win Egbuka gathered in all seven targets for 80 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-15 win against Indiana.
Impact Egbuka had a resurgent outing after four-straight games with fewer than five targets and 35 receiving yards. The fifth-year senior led the team in targets, receptions and yards, and he put the Buckeyes on the board when he caught a well-placed and well-designed 11-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Will Howard in the second quarter. While Egbuka's production dipped as of late, he's still tied with star freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith for a team-high nine receiving touchdowns this season. These two will undoubtedly serve as the top-two receivers in the regular-season finale as Ohio State looks to beat archrival Michigan for the first time since 2019.

Jeremiah Smith - Logs 34 yards Week 13 Smith recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 34 yards during Saturday's 38-15 victory over Indiana. He also logged one rush for 12 yards.
Impact Smith operated as more of a decoy in Week 13, as the Hoosiers clearly sought to take him away with double coverage throughout the game. The standout true freshman came close to scoring his 10th touchdown of the season, but he couldn't quite complete a one-handed grab on an 18-yard incompletion into the end zone during the second quarter. Instead, wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate benefitted with cleaner looks in the passing game, as these two combined for 11 catches (on 11 targets) for 148 yards and a touchdown. Smith still got involved with his fourth rushing attempt of the season on an end-around near the red zone. He should have more opportunities during this Saturday's regular-season finale against archrival Michigan.

Carnell Tate - Catches four passes Week 13 Tate hauled in all four targets for 68 yards during Saturday's 38-15 victory against Indiana.
Impact Tate played a key piece in the passing game for the second week in a row and got involved early, including back-to-back catches on third and fourth down to keep their second drive of the game alive. He didn't get the same scoring opportunities as he did in last week's win against Northwestern, as top wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith and tight end Jelani Thruman got the crucial looks in the red zone. Tate still seems to have cemented himself as WR3 over the last five games, catching 20 of 25 targets for 293 yards and three touchdowns over this span. He'll look to keep playing in this role during next week's regular-season finale against Michigan.

Will Howard - Cruises in dominant win Howard was 22-for-26 passing for 201 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 38-15 win over Indiana. He also had five rushes for negative one yard with one tou...
Impact Howard had almost no trouble dicing up the Hoosiers' defense, as he completed a season-high 84.6 percent of his passes. The Buckeyes did get out to a slow start with a punt, turnover on downs, and interception in three of their first four possessions. But, Howard and co. settled in and outgained Indiana by 316 total yards to 153. This pick in the red zone also wasn't really due to a mistake by Howard, as his pass bounced off his receiver's and up into the air before landing in a Hoosier defender's hands. Howard has now thrown a conference leading 26 touchdown passes to go along with seven rushing scores. He and the Buckeyes should have no issue getting a win against archrival Michigan next week, though the offense may not be as prolific considering the Wolverines' defense is still playing at a high level.
