COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State football suffered a significant blow as running back Miyan Williams has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. The decision was confirmed by head coach Ryan Day, who cited a recent procedure underwent by Williams as the reason for his absence.

Williams, who played a crucial role in the Buckeyes' roster, had his most significant workload two weeks ago against Penn State. However, he was unable to participate in the team's recent game against Wisconsin due to his medical condition.

Last season, Williams emerged as the leading rusher for Ohio State. However, this year he has been relegated to a backup role behind TreVeyon Williams and Chip Trayanum. Williams managed to accumulate 158 yards and three touchdowns this season, maintaining an average of 3.2 yards per carry.

Coach Day stated that a decision is yet to be made regarding Williams' potential use of another year of eligibility at Ohio State. Being a fourth-year player, Williams is eligible for an additional year due to the NCAA's grant of an extra year of eligibility for players during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

The absence of Williams will undoubtedly pose a challenge for the Buckeyes as they aim to maintain a strong presence in the remaining games. The team will have to rely heavily on their remaining running backs to fill the void left by the talented Williams.

In other Ohio State news, quarterback Kyle McCord's status for the upcoming game against Rutgers is currently uncertain after playing through pain during the game against Wisconsin. The quarterback's availability will be a crucial factor in determining the team's offensive strategy moving forward.
