The Buckeyes responded with a one-yard touchdown run by Quinshon Judkins to tie the game at 7-7. The Wildcats controlled possession for much of the opening 15 minutes. Ohio State's Jack Sawyer forced a fumble on NU's opening drive with Davison Igbinosun on the recovery. But what looked like a deep throw to Jeremiah Smith in the endzone was ruled incomplete, forcing OSU to punt in its only drive of the quarter.
