Buckeyes Survive Scare, Edge Past Nebraska 21-17

The Ohio State Buckeyes got a serious scare on Saturday, barely escaping with a 21-17 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a game that went down to the wire. It wasn't the dominant performance Buckeye fans are used to, but hey, a win is a win, right?

The game was a rollercoaster ride, with both teams trading punches throughout. Nebraska's offense, led by quarterback Casey Thompson, looked surprisingly sharp early on, even managing to take a 17-14 lead in the third quarter.

But Ohio State's offense eventually found its footing, led by C.J. Stroud. Even though he didn't have his usual explosive game, Stroud connected with Marvin Harrison Jr. for a crucial touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving the Buckeyes the lead they wouldn't relinquish.

The defense, however, was the real hero of the day. They stood tall against a surprisingly potent Nebraska offense, forcing crucial turnovers and keeping the Huskers from scoring late in the game. It wasn't pretty, but the Buckeyes got the job done.

This wasn't the statement win Ohio State was hoping for, but it was a valuable lesson in resilience. They learned that even on off days, they can still find a way to win. Now, they'll have to take that lesson into next week's game against Wisconsin, a tough opponent who will be looking to take down the Buckeyes.

Let's face it, this game was more nail-biting than enjoyable. Nebraska gave Ohio State a run for their money, and the final score was a lot closer than it should have been. But at the end of the day, the Buckeyes emerged victorious, and that's what matters.

So, did Ohio State squeak by with a win? Yes. Was it pretty? Not really. But hey, a win is a win, right?
