A week ago, the Ohio State football team managed to secure a victory over Penn State, despite missing three of their key players, TreVeyon Henderson, Denzel Burke, and Emeka Egbuka. Thanks to their strong defensive performance, the Buckeyes emerged triumphant with a 20-12 win.
It was promising to witness other players stepping up in the absence of the injured stars, contributing to the team’s success. Nonetheless, it’s clear that Ohio State would benefit greatly from having a fully healthy roster, especially in a challenging setting like Camp Randall Stadium.
The big question is, how healthy will the Ohio State football team be going forward? Henderson is set to return this week, adding a much-needed home run threat to their backfield, potentially improving their running game performance.
Burke is also making a comeback after missing the previous game due to a lower-body injury. While Jermaine Mathews Jr., a true freshman, admirably filled in for him, having Burke back at an All-American level is a significant boost for the team.
The situation with Egbuka is uncertain. He was officially listed as questionable and was dressed with his helmet on last week but didn’t see any playing time. There is a strong likelihood that he will take the field today, even if he’s on a limited snap count. Expectations are that he’ll be part of the game.
Having a fully healthy roster is crucial for this team, as they currently lead the Big Ten and cannot afford any slip-ups against a resurgent Wisconsin team that secured a comeback victory last week. It promises to be an exciting game to watch!
