Impact McCord and the Buckeyes offense struggled to find their footing early, falling behind 9-7 at halftime. The team turned things around in the second half thanks to a few game-breaking plays by Ohio State's defense as well as offensive playmakers TreVeyon Henderson and Marvin Harrison. This included two impressive contested catches in the end zone for Harrison, who has done so routinely during his career. Star running back Henderson also caught a checkdown pass for 65 yards and scored a rushing touchdown of his own late in the third quarter. McCord's struggles this season have made him a farcry from the productive Ohio State quarterbacks of years past. But, he's still played cleanly for the most part with just seven total turnovers to 17 touchdowns, and Ohio State's deep core of super-athletic playmakers have buoyed his production. This should continue to be the case over the next two weeks versus Michigan State and Minnesota.
