Ohio State Buckeyes Dominate Marshall Thundering Herd in 49-14 Victory
In an electrifying matchup at Ohio Stadium, the Ohio State Buckeyes showcased their prowess, pulling away from the Marshall Thundering Herd to secure a commanding 49-14 victory. After a surprisingly competitive first half that saw Ohio State trail 7-0 early on, the Buckeyes exploded with seven touchdowns, solidifying their status as a national powerhouse.
The game kicked off with Marshall striking first, as Ethan Payne's 1-yard touchdown run ended Ohio State's impressive streak of eight consecutive quarters without allowing a touchdown. However, this early setback only seemed to ignite the Buckeyes’ quick-strike offense. Star quarterback Will Howard responded with authority, running for a touchdown and finding standout receiver Emeka Egbuka for a sensational 68-yard scoring play, leveling the score at 7-7.

Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins was a force to be reckoned with, breaking loose for an incredible 86-yard touchdown—one of the longest runs in Buckeye history. He finished the game with two rushing touchdowns, showcasing his explosive speed and agility. The highlight of the afternoon came in the third quarter when Judkins capped a brilliant performance with a six-yard rushing touchdown, helping to extend Ohio State’s lead to 49-14.
As the game progressed, the Buckeyes’ defense continued to assert its dominance, limiting Marshall’s offense to just 232 total yards. Quarterback Will Howard’s efforts were notable, as he threw for 275 yards with two touchdown passes and added a rushing score, while also being replaced by Devin Brown in the fourth quarter. Marshall made quarterback changes too, bringing in Cole Pennington, the son of former NFL star Chad Pennington, but to little avail against Ohio State’s formidable defense.
Notably, Ohio State’s offensive line provided outstanding protection, allowing for significant gains both in the air and on the ground. TreVeyon Henderson also joined the scoring frenzy with a powerful 40-yard touchdown run, further cementing Ohio State’s offensive juggernaut status.
With the victory, the Buckeyes improved to 3-0, and now prepare to enter Big Ten play next week against Michigan State. Head coach Ryan Day praised his team’s resilience and quick adjustments after the rocky start, indicating that they’re gearing up for a challenging season ahead.
As Ohio State prepares to face tougher opponents, this decisive win against Marshall served as an important reminder of their offensive capabilities and defensive strength. With a potent blend of talent and depth, the Buckeyes are poised for a formidable run as they seek to solidify their position as a contender for the College Football Playoff.
