Nebraska is defeated by Ohio State football 26-17.
With just four games left in the regular season, the 7-1, No. 5 Ohio State football Buckeyes can’t afford to make any errors if they want to catch the top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings (Georgia, Alabama, Michigan State and Oregon).
Who will win: Experts predict the winner of the Ohio State football vs. Nebraska game.
After last week’s troubles, Ohio State’s offensive line is eager to improve.
Tyreke Smith’s meteoric climb and triumph over hardship have left an indelible impact on his career. Tyreke Smith’s football career at Ohio State football is coming to an end.
The message was conveyed on Tuesday when the initial rankings were released: If Ohio State football wins out (meaning a victory over one of three rated Big Ten West teams in the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 4), the Buckeyes will make the field.
But first, they must defeat Nebraska, a struggling Big Ten West squad. The Cornhuskers haven’t lost a game by more than eight points in their history, but they’re 14.5-point underdogs against the Buckeyes at home.
The Columbus Dispatch crew will provide live commentary and score updates throughout the game.
Adrian Martinez has been playing this season with a fractured jaw and a high-ankle sprain, according to Scott Frost.
After today’s game, Nebraska coach Scott Frost informed reporters that quarterback Adrian Martinez had overcome a lot this season, including a fractured jaw and a high-ankle sprain. Frost also said that the quarterback has left the worst of his injury troubles behind him, which is encouraging given the Huskers’ upcoming bye week.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba of Ohio State football had a career day, catching 15 passes for 240 yards and a score. OSU has set a new record with 15 catches.

Steele Chambers of the Ohio State footballBuckeyes had six tackles and a game-winning interception of Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez in only one half of play after missing the opening thirty minutes due to a targeting expulsion last week.
Noah Ruggles of Ohio State football is flawless, leading the Buckeyes to a 26-17 victory against the Huskers.
Ohio State football kicker Noah Ruggles has gone 4 for 4 on field goal attempts for the second week in a row. He’s good from 46 yards with 1:29 left.
Nebraska misses another field goal attempt.
Nebraska’s Chase Contreraz went wide left on a kick for the second time today. It was a 31-yard field goal attempt. Everything had looked to be going the Huskers’ way up until that point. Adrian Martinez was gaining ground on the ground with his legs. The Cornhuskers converted their first third-down conversion of the day. (They’re currently 0 for 11 in that department.) The Huskers’ special teams, though, once again lost them points.
C.J. Stroud of Ohio State football gets picked off for the second time.
Stroud throws interception deep into double coverage. And for good measure, a late hit penalty on the return.

The poor performance of the Ohio State football Buckeyes has continued into the fourth quarter. C.J. Stroud first threw a pass that Nebraska’s Myles Farmer intercepted.

Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez scores a running touchdown, and the Buckeyes defeat the Huskers 23-17.

Noah Ruggles of Ohio State football keeps his winning streak alive, leading the Buckeyes to a 23-10 victory against the Huskers.
Noah Ruggles is 3 for 3 today, and has made all 14 field goals this season. His most recent kick was 35 yards in length.
Ohio State football is now being booed.
Since halftime, the Buckeyes have been penalised for four penalties with around four minutes left in the quarter. If a holding call on Paris Johnson hadn’t been denied, the total would have been five. In the first half, Ohio State football was not punished at all.
Buckeyes 20-Huskers 10 OSU kicker Noah Ruggles has a new season-long field goal as he connects on a 46-yard effort to increase the Buckeyes advantage.
TreVeyon Henderson, the Ohio State football Buckeyes’ running back, has been injured. When Nebraska’s Ben Stille, a 6-5, 290-pound defensive lineman, collided with TreVeyon Henderson, he planted his foot. As a consequence, Henderson needed the care of OSU’s medical personnel. We’ll keep you updated on his situation as we learn more.
Steele Chambers has returned to Ohio State football.
Steele Chambers, who was forced to sit out the first half after being dismissed for targeting during Ohio State’s game against Penn State, is now eligible to play in the second half against Nebraska.

Ohio State’s red zone struggles continue to upset C.J. Stroud.
Ohio State football quarterback C.J. Stroud knelt in agony after taking a hit from Nebraska’s Caleb Tannor, as the Buckeyes failed to score a touchdown in the red zone once again.

Dawand Jones of Ohio State returns after missing the first half of the game due to sickness.
Dawand Jones, the Buckeyes’ offensive tackle, is sick today, but he has just returned to the lineup for OSU after sitting out the first half of the game and watching warmups. Thayer Munford was at left tackle, Matt Jones was at left guard, and Nicholas Petit-Frere was at right tackle while he was absent.
The offensive line for Ohio State is coming off a game against Penn State in which none of the guys up front gave what the coaches called a champion effort a good grade.
C.J. Stroud of Ohio State football intercepted Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had caught five of C.J. Stroud’s first eight completions, but Nebraska was ready the sixth time Stroud targeted the receiver. JoJo Domann intercepted it and lingered barely inbounds to give the ball to the Huskers. Domann is still working today. This afternoon, he’s already had a tackle and a pass breakup.
Henderson is now up and seems OK. Jogs to sideline.

Nebraska blows an opportunity to take the lead.
On fourth and one, Ohio State football quarterback C.J. Stroud completed five of his first six ball attempts, but an incompletion occurred when Luke Reimer did an outstanding job breaking up a pass intended for Buckeyes tight end Jeremy Ruckert. The Huskers gained possession of the ball on their own 43-yard line and drove into field goal range, but Luke Contreraz’s 45-yard effort went wide left.

Julian Fleming is expected to be the Buckeyes’ third receiver this afternoon, according to early indications.

Quinn Ewers has been added to Ohio State’s travel roster in the absence of Jack Miller.
Buckeyes quarterback Quinn Ewers has been added to the OSU travel roster for today, after quarterback Jack Miller’s suspension following his arrest on an OVI charge.
After sitting out the first two series, Dawand Jones is in at right tackle for Ohio State. Maybe a lift for the ground game.
— Joey Kaufman (@joeyrkaufman) November 6, 2021
He had not been to Indiana for the last road trip two weeks prior, but he was with the Buckeyes against Rutgers on Oct. 2. J.P. Andrade, an experienced walk-on who filled in for Ewers against the Hoosiers, was also on the road for the second consecutive game. He and Ewers have yet to appear in a game this season.
Garrett Wilson is set to face Nebraska.
Garrett Wilson, a three-year starter at Ohio State football, is out for the first time in his career.
In first pregame reps, Julian Fleming was taking first-team WR reps with Chris Olave and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
— Bill Rabinowitz (@brdispatch) November 6, 2021
Wilson will miss Ohio State’s game against Nebraska on Saturday after playing in 30 straight games for the Buckeyes, including the whole COVID-19-affected season last fall.
Meet Emeka Egbuka: Ohio State football wide receiver Emeka Egbuka confesses to being the Steve Urkel of the Buckeyes.
‘This is the apex of the ladder,’ says Brian Hartline, OSU receivers coach.
Wilson has been the Buckeyes’ best receiver through eight games, catching 43 catches for 687 yards and six scores.
On the pregame status report, he is one of 13 players that are classified as unavailable. He has not been provided a reason for his absence, since the programme is often silent in such circumstances. Wilson, on the other hand, claims to be OK.
For those asking, I am all good! I appreciate the prayers. Can’t wait to watch them boys ball here soon against Nebraska. Go Bucks!

In the Heisman Trophy contest, C.J. Stroud

The red-shirt freshman quarterback is the second-most efficient quarterback in the nation, with 23 touchdowns and just three interceptions entering this weekend.
This week, USA Today reporter Jace Evans wrote, “Ohio State football quarterback C.J. Stroud can ride the #narrative wave to the Heisman.”
