Ohio State mascot, Brutus, trolls Marshall with biscuits following blowout win
Ultimately it was Ohio State that got the last laugh in what was the joke of the week in college football against Marshall. Thundering Herd coach Charles Huff made headlines when he jokingly tried to entice Buckeyes players to transfer with an offer of all-you-can-eat biscuits from Tudor’s, a local chain.
Ohio State ultimately rolled to a 49-14 victory, and did not let the opportunity to troll Huff and Marshall pass them by. The official Instagram account for Brutus, the Buckeyes’ mascot, posted an edit of him sitting on top of a pile of biscuits.
The Thundering Herd played the Buckeyes close for the first quarter as things were tied up at 7 heading into the second. Ohio State pulled away a bit more in the before halftime, but still led only 28-14 at the break.
The Buckeyes would put their foot on the gas from the second half on, however, outscoring Marshall by a score of 21-0 on their way to victory. Running backs Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson combined for 249 yards and four touchdowns.

Marshall HC Charles Huff hilariously attempts to lure Ohio State players away with NIL offer
You have to hear the pitch for yourself to believe it. It starts innocuously enough, as a plea for fans to have some patience, it seems. Then… well, listen for yourself.
“I feel good about the track we’re on, trust me,” Huff said. “I know where we are, but I feel good about the track we’re on. And I feel good about the players we have. Would love to have some of those guys from Ohio State, too. So if they want to transfer on down we’ve got a Tudor’s biscuit NIL all-you-can-eat.
“So if any of those guys that run really, really fast at Ohio State like Tudor’s biscuits, I promise you, all you can eat, all day if you transfer here. But yeah.”
In Huff’s defense, Ohio State has had some exceptionally talented young players enter the ranks in recent years. And being able to peel off a Jeremiah Smith or two would certainly do wonders for the program.
