It’s a good sign for Ohio State that both Williams and Dallan Hayden will be available in the backfield. Hayden is coming off of a monster performance against Maryland in Week 12 where he had 146 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns.
Smith-Njigba has been dealing with a hamstring injury all season long. Henderson is missing another game because of a lingering foot injury. Jones was injured late in the Maryland game as a teammate fell on one of his legs.
