Ronnie Hickman, in 1 season and 3 games for the Buckeyes, has 35 tackles, 1 interception and now a pick-6
The Buckeyes have a bit of a get-right game against the Zips even without starting QB C.J. Stroud as he deals with a shoulder injury before the Buckeyes get into the meat of B1G play.
The Buckeyes have not looked great at times this year as they are 2-1. They have wins over Minnesota and Tulsa and a loss against No.3 Oregon.
The defense has not looked particularly good in any of 3 previous matchups; maybe playing Akron and the pick-6 will wake up the Ohio State secondary in time for conference play.
