Quinshon Judkins had more rushing yards than Marshall had passing yards in Ohio State football’s dominant 49-14 victory Saturday.
The Buckeyes didn’t start out hot, being down 7-0 early in the first quarterback, but they picked it up pretty quickly. Ohio State took a 28-14 lead into the break and put on 14 unanswered points in the third quarter as well.
The Buckeyes got a career-best game from Ole Miss transfer Judkins, who ended with just 14 carries. However, those 14 carries included an 86-yard touchdown. He ended with 173 rushing yards on those carries and 2 scores.

Believe it or not, the yardage wasn’t a career-high number for Judkins. He eclipsed 200 yards twice at Ole Miss, rushing for the highest number in his career on November, 19, 2022. He ended that battle against Arkansas with 214 yards.
However, in each of the three times he topped 173 yards, he scored just one rushing touchdown. He also had 24 or more carries in each of those. Saturday, he was efficiency and got the ball in the end zone twice.
Expect more big-time performances as Judkins continues to show his value to Chip Kelly and the coaching staff.
