Ohio State Edges Nebraska 21-17 Amid Controversy; Hancock's Interception Seals Win

Oct 26, 2024, 07:36 PM

Ohio State narrowly defeated Nebraska 21-17 at Ohio Stadium, improving to 6-1 on the season. Jordan Hancock's game-sealing interception off Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola on third and 19 late in the fourth quarter prevented the Buckeyes from suffering their first loss to an unranked opponent under head coach Ryan Day. Nebraska gained only 11 yards on their final two drives. The game was marked by a controversial targeting call against Ohio State's Arvell Reese, which led to fans throwing bottles onto the field and causing a brief stoppage in play. Ryan Day was visibly upset with the officials over the call.
