TreVeyon Henderson exits, status uncertain for remainder of game against Indiana

It appeared for a moment that Ohio State may not have the services of their star true freshman running back for most of the Indiana game.

TreVeyon Henderson had his helmet taken away from him by the training staff on the sideline during the Buckeyes opening drive, per On3’s Austin Ward. He was ultimately given the helmet back and has been playing.

Henderson has nine carries for 81 yards and two touchdowns on the ground plus a 14-yard touchdown reception.

Ohio State is already without running backs Master Teague and Marcus Crowley. It is unclear why Teague is unavailable, but there have been reports that Crowley suffered a knee injury in practice this week.

Miyan Williams, also a freshman, has five carries for 38 yards and a score.

The Buckeyes are not having any issues scoring despite the issues at running back. Quarterback C.J. Stroud is 10-for-14 with 137 yards and two touchdowns.

Indiana has played three different quarterbacks: Jack Tuttle, Grant Gremel and Donaven McCulley. They are 5-for-10 with 44 yards, and Tuttle has a touchdown pass.

Ohio State leads Indiana 37-7 midway through the second quarter.

Buckeye offense continues to dominate college football

Ohio State entered Saturday’s game as the nation’s top offense, and that looks likely to hold after tonight. They are averaging 48.5 points and 562.7 yards per game.

Assuming they get past Indiana tonight, four of their last five opponents are currently ranked: Penn State, Purdue, Michigan State and Michigan. Purdue lost today and will likely fall out of the rankings, but they have proven if nothing else to be an often-pesky opponent.

Ohio State hosts Penn State next weekend for a primetime contest in the shoe. Penn State dropped 9OT game to Illinois today, but they will likely use the loss as motivation for next weekend. It will be a big test for the Buckeyes as they continue their quest to the College Football Playoff.
