COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — TreVeyon Henderson broke Archie Griffin’s 49-year-old freshman rushing record, running for 277 yards and three touchdowns as No. 9 Ohio State pulled away late to beat Tulsa 41-20. Henderson ran for scores of 5, 48 and 52 yards. But Ohio State displayed some of the same weaknesses as in the 32-25 upset last week by Oregon that sent them tumbling in the AP Top 25 poll. As a team, the Buckeyes were not sharp. But Tulsa, winless in three games, couldn’t match them blow for blow and Henderson broke huge plays at critical times.
