Larkin scored his first touchdown on a 7-yard run late in the first quarter, then added a 10-yard scoring scamper with 8:29 to go in the second quarter. He finished with 62 yards rushing and 57 yards receiving.
Keishaun Sims, who was named Ohio’s Mr. Football earlier in the week, ran for 117 yards for the Panthers (12-3).
