You might not remember, but it had been more than an entire month since TreVeyon Henderson took a snap on the football field.

A lot can happen in a month, but in this case it was the Ohio State Buckeyes mostly holding serve against overmatched opponents, struggling offensively against the better ones, and generally just hoping that the offense would either work itself out or say the hell with it and throw it to Marvin Harrison, Jr. a million times.

The reason why Henderson's return is such a big deal, beyond the fact that he ran for 162 yards and a touchdown, is that the Buckeyes have struggled to become multi-dimensional on offense the entire season. They struggled to do that last night against the Badgers, too, but the feeling after this game isn't that they're incapable of having their cake and eating it too offensively, it's that it's just a matter of making all the disparate elements work at the same time. A game in which Kyle McCord, Marvin Harrison, Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Cade Stover, and TreVeyon Henderson are all on the field and playing their best has felt like a mirage all season, but Henderson's return reminds us that oh, right: this team is capable of being really, really dominant.

They're not there yet, but maybe in another month we'll see that this victory against Wisconsin was the beginning of something truly impressive.

THIS IS ABOUT A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN QUICK CALS

THE REST

And that's it! Next up is a surprisingly tough Rutgers team that is assuredly going to throw the kitchen sink at the Buckeyes. See you then!
