TreVeyon Henderson - 10 touches in Week 1 blowoutHenderson totaled eight carries for 65 yards and reeled in both of his targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 52-6 win versus Akron.
ImpactHenderson once again showed his explosiveness with one of Ohio State's longest plays from scrimmage on a 21-yard rush Saturday. As expected, the senior split carries with junior Quinshon Judkins, who logged 13 carries for 55 yards in his Ohio State debut. The Mississippi transfer also got the team's first rushing touchdown with a two-yard score to put the Buckeyes up 24-3 early in the third quarter. However, Henderson was slightly more involved in the passing game, and he only trailed star true freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith in yards from scrimmage (92). Henderson should continue to split carries with Judkins in what will be perhaps the best 1-2 punch at running back in college football this season.

Will Howard - Strong showing in Buckeyes debutHoward completed 17 of 28 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 52-6 victory versus Akron.
ImpactHoward got off to a slow start along with the rest of the Buckeyes' offense, which was breaking in new high-profile starters at a number of positions. Among them was true freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith, who caught each of Howard's first two touchdown passes in the first half. Howard's most explosive completion also came when he lofted a 45-yard pass for Smith who made a sliding, one-handed catch at the Akron one-yard line. The Kansas State transfer also lived up to his reputation as a true dual-threat quarterback, though he still easily trailed the team's extremely dynamic 1-2 punch at running back with Quinshon Judkins (13 carries, 55 yards) and TreVeyon Henderson (eight carries, 65 yards). Howard will look to continue to gel with his new teammates Week 2 versus Western Michigan.
