No. 8 Ohio State rallies to beat Nebraska 36-31

In this Sept. 8, 2018 photo Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins plays against Rutgers during an NCAA college football game in Columbus, Ohio. Work-in-progress Nebraska may be the tonic for what ails No. 8 Ohio State. The Buckeyes had had a bye week to stew over the improbable Oct. 20 loss to Purdue when their running game and defense were inexplicably absent. Nebraska is improving but will come into Ohio Stadium as a four-touchdown underdog. The Huskers are led by a freshman dual-threat quarterback and senior tailback that have help revive their running game. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete)
