Hooker of course had his second pick-six of the season late in the third quarter. It also set a new program record for interceptions returned for a touchdown in a single season. Hooker tallied three tackles as well.
Hubbard was the anchor of the defensive line that gave the Nebraska quarterbacks havoc all night. He finished the game with five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 tackles for a loss.
Curtis Samuel had possibly his best game yet racking up 137 receiving yards with touch touchdown catches, including one 75-yarder. He also added 41 rushing yards and a punt return.
Jordan Fuller bolstered the special teams, racking up five tackles (two solo) throughout the game.
Ohio State's next task is a 3:30 p.m. road matchup with Maryland on Saturday.
