Miyan Williams found out right before the game that he would be Ohio State's No. 1 running back Saturday because TreVeyon Henderson was out. He carried the load, rushing for a career-high 189 yards.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Miyan Williams found out right before the game that he would be Ohio State's No. 1 running back Saturday because TreVeyon Henderson was out with an injury.
The third-year back exploded for a 70-yard TD romp in the third quarter and also had four short scoring plunges. Williams stepped up with the best game of his Ohio State career on a day when quarterback C.J. Stroud wasn't as sharp as usual. The Heisman Trophy favorite completed 13 of 22 passes for a career-low 154 yards with two touchdowns and an interception as the Rutgers defense keyed on taking away the pass."I think that we just want to win," he said."If that means I don't throw for a lot of yards, I don't throw for a lot of touchdowns, I can't really care less.
Stroud capitalized on a Rutgers turnover with his best pass of the afternoon, a dime that hit Julian Fleming in stride running down the middle for a 36-yard touchdown. Williams' third TD gave Ohio State a 28-7 halftime lead. Mirco scurried out of bounds and was nailed late by Aron Cruickshank in front of the Ohio State bench. That riled up both teams, with Schiano coming clear across the field to jaw at Day, who jawed right back. After order was restored, Cruickshank was ejected, and Schiano and Day got off-setting unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.Both coaches downplayed the confrontation.
