The true freshman rushed for 71 yards in quick work on 8 carries. Unfortunately, he did not get much of a chance to add to those numbers.

Henderson was seen heading to the injury tent at one point in the first half. He was not there long, but he was seen afterward without his helmet, a likely indication that his afternoon was done.

Heading into halftime, head coach Ryan Day was asked about Henderson’s absence. Day admitted Henderson was a little banged up but should be just fine.

Henderson was a big part of Ohio State’s fast start, but it is not surprising to see him remain on the sidelines with the game in control. Ohio State is likely to play multiple reserves in the second half of the blowout.
