Luckily for Ohio State, running back Master Teague is back for this game after missing multiple contests due to an injury. Teague has scored two touchdowns in the first half to help keep the Buckeyes in the game.

According to Taylor, Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford told Teague, “Trey’s out, we have to win this game for him now.”

Here’s Taylor’s full report:

This is a crushing blow for Ohio State, as Sermon had developed into arguably the Buckeyes’ best player over the final two weeks of the season. He rushed for a combined 524 yards in the Big Ten Championship and the Sugar Bowl.
