Ohio State struggled to secure a narrow 21-17 victory against Nebraska, raising concerns after their previous loss to Oregon. The only player to receive recognition for the game was linebacker Cody Simon, who recorded 8 tackles and 3 tackles for loss. No offensive or special teams player was honored, marking a significant departure from the norm, as the coaching staff emphasized the team's underperformance. This lack of recognition may serve as motivation for the team to improve quickly. Upcoming challenges include a pivotal game against undefeated Penn State, which could severely impact their championship aspirations.
