The first quarter ends with Ohio sitting at 24 total yards and minus-7 rushing yards. Plus, they have two penalties for 30 yards.
The second quarter begins with Ohio facing third and 1 at its own 24-yard line, but Harden runs for a first down. After a couple of nice defensive plays, Ohio ends up with a 3rd and 13. Jackson shows his mobility by scrambling left and firing a strike to Brazill down the sideline for a 36-yard gain. The Cats did a poor job of keeping containment on the play, and Mabin got beat on third down for the second time today.
This play seems to ignite the Ohio offense, which starts moving steadily down the field behind Jackson, who shows off an accurate arm to go with his running ability.
Once again though, NU gets bailed out. Jackson lofts a pass into the end zone, clearly expecting his receiver to be in a certain spot. But the receiver wasn't, allowing Brad Phillips to haul in a gift interception. The Ohio receiving corps has now cost Jackson a TD and gotten him into an INT. Tough break for him.
