Miyan Williams dominates 4th-quarter drive, punches in TD to stretch Ohio State's lead
Miyan Williams just put up a huge drive for Ohio State, and he may have just iced away a win against Notre Dame for the Buckeyes.
The No. 2 running back for the Buckeyes, Williams has been splitting time with TreVeyon Henderson in Week 1. While both saw action on this drive, it was Williams that caught fire and scored the late touchdown.

His first touch on the drive was actually a reception, a sliding grab on a short third-down play to keep the Buckeyes moving. CJ Stroud was able to find Williams after escaping the pocket on a scramble drill.
