Column: Ohio State cannot succeed without a healthy TreVeyon Henderson

Henderson and Marvin Harrison Jr. have carried the offense on their backs.
TreVeyon Henderson has compiled over 200 yards of total offense in each of the last two games. With Miyan Williams out for the season, Henderson has fully stepped back into the starting running back role, and has been literally running this team to victory ever since he returned from injury.
Henderson’s absence was extremely noticeable, as he missed three games this season and the run game struggled without him on the field. Against Maryland, the Buckeyes rushed for 62 yards. Dallan Hayden stepped up against Purdue, so the rushing total was 123 yards, but then it dropped again against Penn State with 79 total rushing yards.
All season long, Marvin Harrison Jr. has been keeping this offense alive. He has had over 100 receiving yards in six games. He’s one of the best, if not the best college football players in the country. He is definitely the backbone of the Ohio State offense.

However, everyone and their mother knows this fact, so opposing team’s defenses are going to try to stop him all day long. While it is almost impossible to do so, there needs to be a running option, and that would be Tre.
The run game has been a struggle up until the midway point of the season I would say. Henderson couldn’t really find his groove, and neither could Chip Trayanum or Williams before his injury. This also was on the offensive line, as they were trying to figure out their games too. But, once the Purdue game hit and Hayden stepped up big, the run game has really taken off.
Henderson has saved the Buckeyes’ offense the past two weeks. Against Wisconsin, he pretty much won the game for the Bucks, as he rushed for 162 yards and had another 45 yards receiving. His touchdown at the end of the game also sealed the deal, as Ohio State would emerge victorious from Camp Randall.

Then, this past week against Rutgers, he rushed for 128 yards with another 80 receiving yards. He was the entire offense. The passing game is not always going to work, as Kyle McCord struggled against the Scarlet Knights and Marv only had 25 yards this game. Harrison Jr. did have two touchdowns, which is what’s important, but Henderson is what got the offense down to the red zone to have these scoring opportunities.
Imagine if Tre was injured this past weekend. Could Chip and Dallan get the job done? Maybe. But Henderson is Ol’ Reliable. He always shines in the big moments and steps up when he has to. There was pretty much no passing game against Rutgers, so the run game had to be there — and it was.
This is crucial for the rest of the season. Especially against TTUN, the defense is going to be all over Marv. The run game HAS to be there, meaning a healthy Henderson has to be there to ensure Ohio State can have success on the ground. I truly believe No. 32 is going to be the key if this team is going to reach its ultimate goals.

Silver Bullets Podcast: Rutgers rewind and Michigan State preview

Buckeyes deal defeat to another physical foe to stay unbeaten.
Ohio State concluded its two-game road trip with a 35-16 win over Rutgers that was far more frustrating in the first half than the second. Greg Schiano has a tough, physical football team with a sound defense, and it took Ohio State a minute to figure it out. Despite trailing 9-7 at halftime, the Buckeyes found another gear in the second half after a 93-yard interception return for a touchdown by Jordan Hancock and never trailed again.
We look back at another meh offensive performance, check in on our score predictions, and analyze the game overall. We also checked back on the players we picked to click, and it was not a great night for our selections on the offensive side of the football.
We took our usual walk through the other results around the Big Ten, where there still doesn’t seem to be anyone who wants to hang onto the lead in the B1G West. We thought it might be Nebraska, but apparently not. Iowa is in the driver’s seat now, which usually spells disaster for any team in that position.
Finally, we looked ahead to the Michigan State Spartans, who will visit the Buckeyes on Saturday night. It’s an ultra-rare November night game for the Buckeyes, and hopefully the friendly crowd and fancy alternate uniforms can inspire Ohio State to not play with its food for one week.
We try our hand at predicting the final score and make our selections for the offensive and defensive OSU players that we “pick to click.” Hopefully we did a better job of it this week than we did last time out.
We’ll be here with you every week from now until the end of the 2023 Ohio State football season (and then monthly). We’d love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email.
