A late first-half screen pass to running back TreVeyon Henderson propelled Ohio State to victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl. The play, unexpected for the Buckeyes, saw Henderson break free for a 75-yard touchdown, shifting the momentum in their favor.
ARLINGTON, Texas — One fan had his face in his hands while another covered her ears to block out the volume inside AT&T Stadium.
Henderson’s lanes to the end zone cleared shortly after he caught the ball from Howard well behind Ohio State’s line of scrimmage. Coach Ryan Day and his players have joked about eliminating a screen drill from practice. For a team that doesn’t call many screen passes, why waste time on it?Day was asked over his headset what he wanted to do in the end-of-half situation. Against Tennessee in a similar spot, Ohio State ran the ball with Henderson and got 15 yards.
Late in the first quarter, he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after a post-play altercation with a Texas player.
