Maybe the best news in the passing game to come out of Saturday's game is that Emeka Egbuka (5 catches, 83 yards) had his best game since returning from an injury he suffered at Purdue on Oct. McCord limped slightly after the half-ending sack but did not appear to be bothered by it in the second half.
McCord was 20 of 30 for 212 yards and threw short touchdown passes to Marvin Harrison Jr. Ohio State had 434 yards of total offense, averaged 6.1 yards per running play and allowed only the one sack.
Henderson ignited a 17-point third quarter by the Buckeyes with a 75-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play of the second half.
