Part 2/7:
As the game unfolded, the Buckeyes continued to exploit Tennessee's defensive schemes. Quarterback Howard, under pressure yet composed, connected with Abuka and a series of other offensive weapons, leading to more scores. Ohio State's balanced offense, steadily showcasing the prowess of their backs—particularly TreVeyon Henderson—proved too much for a struggling Tennessee defense.
The Buckeyes scored with precision on quick drives that left little room for the Volunteers to regroup. Henderson's speed and agility became pivotal as he rushed for a critical touchdown, pushing their lead even further.
