Miller directed a drive of 57 yards, including a pass to Devin Smith and a touchdown run by Miller, which gave Ohio State the lead 21-10. The touchdown was scored on one of the most impressive one-yard touchdown runs by Miller. Miller faked a hand-off to Carlos Hyde, and Hyde was then smothered by a defensive end.
