There was time on the clock, but Jaylen Harrell had already taken off his helmet — for better or worse.
“I was really excited — too excited,” the senior edge rusher said. “(I’m) glad because if (senior safety) Rod (Moore) didn’t catch that it would’ve been bad. Thank god he did.”
Pressuring Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord on the final play of the game, Harrell’s hit helped secure the 30-24 victory as it caused McCord to throw an errant pass. As he watched the pass sail into the hands of Moore, in the joy of the moment, Harrell had already ripped his helmet off.
