Ohio State made one of its biggest plays of Saturday’s game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers when it intercepted quarterback Dylan Raiola allowing the Buckeyes to put a close game on ice, securing a 21-17 victory.

In the play, Raiola looks to connect with his wide receiver on a pass over the middle, but it is intercepted by Ohio State defender Jordan Hancock.

Here’s a look at that moment:

Raiola was seen early on in the season as a dark horse quarterback with a lot of potential, but while he has had his moments, he has faltered at certain points as well, losing some of the limelight as the season has progressed. He finished out this loss 21-for-32 passing for 152 yards with 1 interception. He also carried the ball 9 times for 31 yards.

While Raiola and Nebraska have some fixing to do as the season rolls on, Ohio State looks like a serious College Football Playoff contender per the usual, looking to keep the momentum in the Buckeyes’ favor as they face the Penn State Nittany Lions up next on the schedule at noon ET on Saturday, Nov. 2.

It will be a true measuring stick and a highly anticipated road test between two teams that, for now, are No. 4 and No. 3 in the nation.
