Judkins’ first score came in the 2nd quarter. The running back took a carry for a 9-yard score to put the Buckeyes up 14-7.
Then, later in the 2nd, Judkins broke wide-open in the end zone and caught a pass from Will Howard to extend the team’s lead to 21-7 just before halftime.
Judkins then completed the hat trick at the beginning of the 3rd and is showing no signs of slowing down. About halfway through the 3rd quarter, Judkins has 88 rushing yards and 2 rushing scores to go with 21 receiving yards and a receiving score.
