Nebraska 32 - Ohio State 12

This game was ugly, really ugly. 

The Nebraska coaches came into the game fearing the Buckeye defense.  A conservative gameplan was drawn up hoping to get a close game into the 4th quarter to have a chance for the win in Columbus. 

However, the Buckeye defense quickly squashed that plan as they dominated the line of scrimmage and continously tackled the Nebraska running backs behind the line of scrimmage.  The Nebraska rushing attack was held to (30) yards on 27 carries.  The longest run on the day was 5 yards late in the second half.

But, the Nebraska passing attack was outstanding and bailed the offense out all afternoon.  The Nebraska QB's finished the game 24-34 for 414 yards and 3 TD's.

While the Buckeye defense is for real, the offense and special teams have really let this team down.  Ohio State had to settle for 5 field goal attempts and only made 2.  Of the 2 that were made, both needed help from the goal post to make it through the up rights.  

Nebraska moves to 2-1 and Ohio State is now 1-3 on the season.
