Ohio State Star RB Gets Procedure Done During Bye Week

The Ohio State Buckeyes are looking to bounce back after suffering an upset loss to the No. 3-ranked Oregon Ducks a week ago. Oregon has since jumped Ohio State in the AP poll after their late-game controversial call led to a 32-31 Buckeyes defeat.

While Dan Lanning had Oregon intentionally flagged and had a late-game spell that eventually led to a Ducks victory, some fans were quite upset with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and quarterback Will Howard for their execution in clutch time.

However, leading up to the game, Ohio State star running back Quinshon Judkins had been dealing with a hand injury. He tallied just 23 yards on 11 carries during the contest. It was easily Judkins' worst game of the season.

The star Buckeyes running back underwent a minor procedure this week to fix the injury, and, fortunately for Ohio State, Judkins will not miss any time.

On the season, Judkins has tallied 491 yards on 71 carries as he's averaging 6.9 yards per carry. The Ohio State running back has also cashed in on six touchdowns.

Ohio State is entering a bye week, ranked No. 4 in the nation, following the upset loss in Eugene, OR. They'll have time to course-correct, take what was needed from the loss, adjust and make a late-season push in the Big Ten and look to make the expanded 12-team College Football Playoffs.

Should the procedure impact Judkins at all, which it shouldn't, Ohio State has a loaded running back room with TreVeyon Henderson having totaled 424 yards and four touchdowns on 52 carries, averaging 8.2 yards per carry.

The Buckeyes are loaded with talent, but Judkins is a superstar in Columbus and him not missing any time will be huge as they next take on Nebraska on their home field after they take a week off.
