The Ohio State Buckeyes will be without two of their top players, and perhaps three against the Penn State Nittany Lions.

In this story:

The Ohio State Buckeyes could be without their top running back, TreVeyon Henderson, once again.

This time, Henderson would miss the team's critical matchup against the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions.

Henderson has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury. Last week against Purdue, the Buckeyes were forced to turn to sophomore Dallan Hayden. In that game Hayden handled the load well, rushing 11 times for 76 yards and a touchdown.

This will be a different test for Hayden, however, who will be going up against the nation's No. 1 defense in Penn State. The Nittany Lions currently rank No. 3 in the country against the run - and No. 1 in the Big Ten giving up just 72.5 yards per game.

Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, Henderson would not be the only star to miss the game.  

Defensive back Denzel Burke, who is the Buckeyes' top corner, will also miss the game. Burke was injured in the third quarter against Purdue and limped off the field. 

After being taken to the medical tent, he did not return to the game. He has eight tackles, an interception and a forced fumble this season. 

Also on the injury report, was Buckeyes star receiver Emeka Egbuka, who was injured against Maryland, and missed the Purdue matchup. Egbuka is listed as questionable.
