3 REMEMBERING KOSTA KARAGEORGE Kosta Karageorge was in his fourth-year as a student-athlete at his hometown school when he tragically lost his life. After three years on the wrestling team, this personable young man who had a positive presence on and off the field, walked onto the Ohio State football team in August of 2014 and quickly became a favorite among many on the team. He was described by one teammate as someone who made every day enjoyable, and was lauded by another for his effort, toughness, passion and loyalty. These were attributes his wrestling teammates already knew. The Buckeyes will be wearing 53 helmet stickers during the Big Ten championship to honor the memory and spirit of Kosta Karageorge.

INDIANA One week after two fumbles spoiled what could have been Jalin Marshall s breakout game as a collegian (he had a 47-yard TD reception as part of a five-catch game vs. Minnesota), Marshall went wild with four second-half touchdowns all consecutive to awaken the Buckeyes from a deficit and into a lead over Indiana Nov. 22. Marshall scored on a 54-yard punt return to get things going and then caught three touchdown passes from J.T. Barrett in less than 14 minutes covering 6, 15 and 54 yards. The Big Ten Conference chose him as its freshman of the week for his efforts. Marshall became the first freshman to return a punt for TD since Ted Ginn, Jr. in And, according to ESPN Stats & Info, became the first player from a Power 5 conference with at least three receiving touchdowns and a punt return for a TD in the same game since Justin Blackmon in 2010 and was also the first player to do all that in a half in 10 years. CLIMBS TO 6TH IN PUNT RETURNS Jalin Marshall s 23-yard punt return vs. Michigan moved him into sixth-place nationally with a 14.1 yard per return average. Marshall had 56 punt return yards vs. Indiana Nov. 22, including his 54-yard return for a TD.

Barrett threw a TD in all 12 regularseason games before his injury. Only three times 1997, 1995 and 1979 has an Ohio State team had TD passes in every game during the season. RUN STATS ARE ALSO FUN STATS Not to be outdone by the passing game, Ohio State s rushing game has produced a touchdown in 21 consecutive games and in 37 of 38 games coached by Urban Meyer. The only game Ohio State has not scored a rushing touchdown under Meyer: the 2013 Wisconsin game when Braxton Miller threw four touchdown passes in the win. The Buckeyes have featured one of the most potent rushing attacks in the country since Coach Meyer s arrival and most notably since the start of 2013, averaging yards per game on the ground, seventh best in the FBS and fourth among Power 5 conference schools.

BOSA SACK ENDS PSU GAME Not sure who to credit for the term walk-off sack, but it sure fit as Joey Bosa overpowered a Penn State blocking back on a fourth-and-5 play in the second overtime, knocking him backwards and into quarterback Christian Hackenberg for a game-ending sack to clinch Ohio State s double overtime victory. Bosa had 2.5 sacks on the day and six total tackles.

THREE 20-GAME WIN STREAKS FOR MEYER Last season Urban Meyer became the first head coach at the highest level of the collegiate coaching ranks (major college, Division I, FBS, etc.) to have three winning streaks of at least 20 games. A total of 41 head coaches at this level have lead a team to a winning streak of at least 20 games. Nine of those coaches have had two winning streaks of at least 20 wins. Meyer is the first to add a third such winning streak to his name. Multiple 20-Game Win Streak Coaches Urban Meyer 24 Florida (2010) & Ohio State ( ) 22 Florida ( ) 20 Utah ( ) & Florida (2005) Walter Camp 28 Yale ( ) 27 Yale ( ) Robert Neyland 22 Tennessee ( ) 20 Tennessee ( ) Tom Osborne 26 Nebraska ( ) 22 Nebraska ( ) Joe Paterno 23 Penn State ( ) 20 Penn State ( ) Barry Switzer 28 Oklahoma ( ) 20 Oklahoma ( ) Bud Wilkinson 47 Oklahoma ( ) 31 Oklahoma ( ) George Woodruff 34 Pennsylvania ( ) 31 Pennsylvania ( ) Fielding Yost 29 Michigan ( ) 26 Michigan ( ) AND ONLY ONE THREE-GAME LOSING STREAK Urban Meyer has had just one losing streak reach three games in his 161-game head coaching career: in 2010 at Florida. He has had only four multi-game losing streaks in all, with all of them two-game 8

9 streaks except for the 2010 trio while at Florida. The others: in 2002 at Bowling Green; 2007 at Florida; and 2013 at OSU. 50-POINT GAME RECORD Ohio State set a school record this year with four consecutive 50-point games. The stretch was also a personal best for an Urban Meyer-coached team. Three times previously he had a team score 50-ormore points in three consecutive games but this is the first time his team has done so in four consecutive times. TOTAL OFFENSE TIES SCHOOL MARK Ohio State also tied the school record this season with four consecutive games of 500-or-more yards of total offense (628 vs. Kent State; 710 vs. Cincinnati; 533 vs. Maryland; 585 vs. Rutgers). The 1998 Ohio State team was the first to accomplish this feat. FOUR DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS Ohio State has four defensive touchdowns this season and all are by freshmen. Darron Lee had a 61-yard fumble return vs. Navy and a 33-yarder vs. Michigan; Raekwon McMillan had a 19-yard interception return vs. Maryland; and Eli Apple had a four-yard fumble return vs. Rutgers. FIRST 4-INT GAME IN FOUR YEARS Ohio State s four interceptions against Maryland represented its first four-or-more interception game in four years (four vs. Miami, Fla., in 2010). FOURTH 300 & 300 GAME Ohio State had 380 rushing yards and 330 passing yards vs. Cincinnati. This marked the fourth time in school history the team has topped 300 yards in both categories in the same game. 300 Rushing & 300 Passing and 330 vs. Cincinnati and 303 vs. Eastern Michigan and 315 vs. Rice and 321 vs. Utah OFFENSIVE OPTIONS Ohio State has 12 different players on offense who have scored a touchdown. Last year, 14 Buckeyes finished the season with a touchdown scored and in Buckeyes scored touchdowns. BARRETT HITS 11 DIFFERENT RECEIVERS Redshirt freshman QB J.T. Barrett was spreading the ball all over the field in the 66-0 win over the Golden Flashes Sept. 13, hitting 11 different receivers and tying a school record with six TD passes in the win. It marked the first time in 25 years an Ohio State QB hit 11 different receivers in a game. BUCKEYES IN THE POLLS Ohio State is ranked No. 6 in the Associated Press and No. 6 in the Coaches Top 25 polls and 5th in the latest College Football Playoff poll, released each Tuesday evening. Since the start of the 2002 season, Ohio State has been ranked in the AP Top 10 more times than any other school (155). Oklahoma (130) and LSU (129) are second and third, respectively.

13 LAST TIME VS. WISCONSIN - SEPT. 28, 2013 IN COLUMBUS Buckeyes Top Badgers, Braxton Miller throws for four TDs in his first game back from injury COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Braxton Miller matched a careerhigh with four touchdown passes in his first game in three weeks and No. 4 Ohio State ran the nation s longest winning streak to 17 games with a victory over No. 23 Wisconsin. Miller missed the last two games with a sprained left knee, but didn t show the slightest bit of rust. The junior threw three touchdown passes in the first half, including a 40-yarder to Corey Brown with 1 second left that put Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) up I ve been working really hard this last couple weeks because I ve been hurt, fundamental-wise, Miller said. I felt pretty good. My leg felt good, energy-wise. I wasn t out of shape. Joel Stave and Jared Abbrederis kept the Badgers (3-2, 1-1) in it. Stave threw for 295 yards and two TDs. Abbrederis caught 10 passes for a career-best 207 yards and a score, winning most of his one-on-one matchups with star cornerback Bradley Roby. James White ran 17 yards for a touchdown with 13:47 left in the fourth quarter to cut Ohio State s lead to Wisconsin got within on a 42-yard field goal by Kyle French with 2:05 left in the fourth, and got the ball back at its own 10 with 1:29 left but Ohio State didn t even give up a first down. The Buckeyes first big game of the season was big enough to bring Ohio native LeBron James to the Horseshoe and turn Ohio Stadium into the most-scarlet place on earth. Just about everyone in the crowd of 105,826 - third-largest in Ohio State history - was donning the Buckeyes shade of red. The Buckeyes had been off the radar for the first four weeks of the season, beating up on overmatched foes and dropping a couple of spots in the polls. The only news from Columbus was Miller s injury early in the second game of the season, though the Buckeyes didn t miss a beat without him. Kenny Guiton stepped in, led Ohio State to three blowout victories and won consecutive Big Ten offensive player of the week honors. Guiton was so good some Buckeyes fans wondered aloud whether he should keep playing even if Miller was ready to play. Miller said he wasn t paying any attention. I m proud of Kenny, the way he stepped in, said Miller, who passed for 198 yards and ran for 83. I look at him as a big brother. And coach Urban Meyer said there was never a question Miller would start if he could. No, not if he s healthy, Meyer said. Miller started as expected and on his first series fired a 25-yard touchdown pass to Evan Spencer. The question for Wisconsin coming in was how well Stave could compliment the Badgers powerful running game. The sophomore ended up carrying the offense and was never better than when he hit Abbrederis with a perfectly thrown deep ball for a 36-yard score to make it 7-7. No. 4, he s got my vote for All-Big Ten, Meyer said Braxton Miller tied a career high with four TD passes and rushed for 83 yards in the win over the Badgers at Ohio Stadium. of Abbrederis. Miller came right back and hooked up with Devin Smith with a 26-yard touchdown pass to make it After Drew Basil booted a 45-yard field goal with 4:33 left in the second quarter for Ohio State, Stave found Sam Arneson for an 11-yard touchdown to make it with 1:30 left. Too much time. Miller drove the Buckeyes to the 40 and underthrew a deep pass on third-and-7 that hit Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn Shelton in the hands, but the freshman dropped the interception. Brown got behind the Wisconsin secondary by a step and Miller threw a dart that hit his receiver in the chest for a 40-yard touchdown with a second left in the half. Miller gave the touchdown signal, a couple of claps and a clumsy hip bump with a teammate. Ohio State went to the locker room up on the three-time defending Big Ten champions. The Buckeyes took a big step toward taking that crown from the Badgers, though they lost starting safety Christian Bryant to a broken ankle, Meyer said. The Buckeyes struggled to stop the Badgers and got some help from Wisconsin in the second quarter when two penalties on the same series wiped out a third-down conversion (holding) and a muffed punt by Ohio State (illegal formation). Melvin Gordon, the nation s leading rusher, was held under 100 yards for the first time this season. He had 74 yards on 15 carries before limping off with an apparent leg injury early in the fourth quarter.

28 GAME 1 RECAP: NAVY No. 5/6 Ohio State opens with win over Navy Barrett passes for 226 yards and two TDs in his first collegiate game BALTIMORE -- Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut, and No. 5 Ohio State beat Navy Saturday for its 25th consecutive regular-season victory. Elevated into a starting role after senior Braxton Miller injured his right shoulder on Aug. 18, Barrett went 12 for 15 - including an 80-yard TD pass to Devin Smith that put the Buckeyes up with 4:10 left in the third quarter. Ohio State (1-0) won despite allowing Navy (0-1) to gain 370 yards on the ground, including 118 by Ryan Williams-Jenkins. Barrett became the second freshman since 1950 to start a season opener at quarterback for Ohio State. He ran nine times for 50 yards, did not throw downfield often and relied heavily on a ground game that finally wore down the Midshipmen in the fourth quarter. After Navy closed to with 13:54 remaining, the Buckeyes launched a 10-play drive that featured just one pass. Ezekiel Elliott converted a fourthand-1 from the Navy 45 and Barrett threw a 19-yard completion before Elliott ran in from the 10. Barrett s 9-yard touchdown pass to Mike Thomas made it with 2:09 left. Navy held a 7-6 lead and was driving on the opening series of the second half when Joey Bosa hit Keenan Reynolds as the quarterback was tossing a pitch to Demond Brown. The ball went awry, and Darron Lee took it 61 yards the other way for a touchdown. The Midshipmen responded immediately. Williams-Jenkins ran 67 yards to the Ohio State 17, and Reynolds scored from the 1 to put Navy up That gave Reynolds a touchdown in nine straight games, tying the school record. Ohio State then turned the ball over on downs, when Elliott was stuck for a 2-yard loss on fourth down from the Navy 45. But the momentum turned when Smith got behind the Navy defense on the right side, broke a tackle and scored on the longest touchdown against the Midshipmen since an 87-yarder by Tulane in November Navy drove to the Ohio State 18 on the final possession of the first half before Nick Sloan missed a 36-yard field goal, keeping the Buckeyes deficit at 7-6. Throwing mostly short, safe passes, Barrett went 8 for 11 for 96 yards and an interception before halftime. Barrett s first play at Ohio State was a pass completion for 14 yards. Although he appeared comfortable in the no-huddle offense, the Buckeyes quickly punted. Ohio State s next possession began with four straight runs, followed by a sack. A shovel pass on a third-and-21 gained 16 yards to set up a 46-yard field goal by freshman Sean Nuernberger. Redshirt freshman linebacker Darron Lee returned a fumble 61 yards for Ohio State s first score. Navy answered with an 11-play drive, 10 of them runs, capped by a 1-yard touchdown sweep by DeBrandon Sanders. Midway through the second quarter, Barrett went 4 for 4 for 54 yards to bring the Buckeyes to the Navy 8. But he hurried a first-down pass and was intercepted by Parrish Gaines. Barrett s inexperience showed again on the next series, when Ohio State had to settle for a field goal. On a third-and-2 from the Navy 4, Barrett rolled right and pitched too late to Elliott, who was smothered for a 7-yard loss.

29 GAME 2 RECAP: VIRGINIA TECH No. 7/8 Ohio State falls to Virginia Tech, Buckeyes suffer first home-opening loss since 1978 COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State rallied from a 14-point deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter, but ultimately were unable to pull out the comefrom-behind win as Virginia Tech came away with the win at Ohio Stadium -- snapping Ohio State s 35-game home-opener win streak. VT s Michael Brewer passed for two touchdowns and Virginia Tech s defense stood tough at the end. Keyshoen Jarrett had two interceptions and Donovan Riley returned another 63 yards for a TD in the final minute before a record crowd of 107,517 at enlarged Ohio Stadium. Brewer led the Hokies (2-0) to a 21-7 lead at the half. After his fumble led to the Buckeyes (1-1) pulling even on Ezekiel Elliott s 15-yard run early in the fourth quarter, he led a 65-yard drive capped by a 10-yard scoring pass to Bucky Hodges with 8:44 left. Ohio State s J.T. Barrett was 9-of-29 for 219 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions. He led all rushers with 70 yards on 24 carries. It was Ohio State s third loss in its last four games after a school-record 24-game winning streak. It s not the last game of the season, Ohio State tight end Jeff Heuerman said. There s a long way to go to finish out. Coach Meyer s message after the game is there s a lot to accomplish but we have to accomplish it at Ohio State drew within a touchdown when Barrett tossed a short pass in the right flat to Michael Thomas, who spun and raced untouched the rest of the way for a 53-yard TD that left the Hokies up Then Brewer, who had stared down Ohio State s vaunted front all night, got hit from behind on a scramble by end Joey Bosa and fumbled, with Rashad Frazier recovering at the Virginia Tech 15. Two plays later, Elliott took an option pitch around right end and broke three tackles, tying it at 21 with 11:40 left in the fourth quarter. Virginia Tech took over at its own 35 after an Ohio State kickoff went out of bounds. Deon Newsome went 22 yards on an end around and Rogers gained 17 more on a reverse on which he faked a pass and then picked his way downfield. On second and goal from the 10, Brewer fired a low, hard pass to the outside for Hodges to put Virginia Tech up Riley put the icing on the win when he stepped in front of a Barrett pass and raced down the right sideline - and in front of the Ohio State bench - for the 63-yard score with 46 seconds left. Sophomore RB Ezekiel Elliott runs for a 15-yard TD run in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 21.

30 GAME 3 RECAP: KENT STATE No. 18/22 Ohio State shuts out Kent State, 66-0 Barrett ties a school record with six TD passes COLUMBUS, Ohio -- J.T. Barrett matched a school record with six touchdown passes - five in the first half - to lead the 22nd-ranked Buckeyes to a 66-0 victory over Kent State on Saturday. The win was the 39th in a row over an in-state opponent for the Buckeyes (2-1), who haven t lost since a 7-6 setback to Oberlin in Curtis Samuel ran for two touchdowns and Smith ran for one and also caught a TD pass for the Buckeyes, who totaled 628 yards of offense while limiting Kent State to 126. It was the third meeting between the teams, with Ohio State winning by an average score of A redshirt freshman who took over when threeyear starting quarterback Braxton Miller was lost for the year with a shoulder injury, Barrett finished 23 of 30 for 312 yards with an interception. He became the first Ohio State quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards since Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith did against Michigan in The Golden Flashes hadn t given up 60 points in a game since a loss to Connecticut in The game represented Kent State s most lopsided loss since a 56-0 defeat at Miami (Ohio) in The Buckeyes scored early and often against the overmatched Flashes, who came in as 32-point underdogs. A week after permitting Barrett to be sacked seven times, Ohio State s line had no difficulty protecting him - not allowing a sack - and opening huge holes for rushers. The first series of the second half provided one of the best highlights - the football version of a fire drill. Anthony Melchiori s punt was blocked by Ohio State s Jeff Greene, with teammate Ron Tanner picking up the loose ball and running. But he was caught from behind by Matthew Somers, who stripped the ball, which was recovered by Kent State s Steve Nagy. Six players touched the ball before the ball ended up at the Golden Flashes 2, a loss of 32 yards. Moments later, the Buckeyes forced a punt and then scored on Barrett s shovel pass to Jalin Marshall for three yards for a 52-0 lead. His sixth TD pass tied Kenny Guiton s mark set a year ago against Florida A&M. Colin Reardon completed 14 of 27 passes for 76 yards with three interceptions for Kent State, with Nathan Strock 1 of 7 for 3 yards. The first half took almost two hours - with most of that time spent celebrating Buckeyes touchdowns. Barrett, who came in with three passing TDs in the first two games, completed 21 of 28 passes for 297 yards. The scoring passes covered 14 and 63 yards to Michael Thomas, 8 yards to Rod Smith, 2 yards to Marcus Baugh and 50 yards to Devin Smith. Smith also ran for a 1-yard score.

31 GAME 4 RECAP: CINCINNATI Barrett, Elliott Lead #20 Buckeyes Past Cincinnati, QB accounts for more than 400 yards of total offense COLUMBUS, Ohio -- J.T. Barrett passed for 330 yards and four touchdowns and Ezekiel Elliott ran for 182 yards and a score to lead No. 22 Ohio State past Gunner Kiel and Cincinnati on Saturday night. Kiel completed 21 of 32 passes for 352 yards and four scores for the Bearcats (2-1) in a game of wild momentum swings before a stadium-record crowd of 108,362. The Buckeyes (3-1), who won their 40th consecutive game over an in-state opponent, totaled 710 yards. But their defense couldn t stop the Bearcats, who had wide-out Chris Moore catch three passes for 221 yards and three TDs. Not until Barrett hit Devin Smith with a 29-yard scoring pass early in the fourth quarter was it clear the Buckeyes would survive. The score made it A freshman who took over after two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year Braxton Miller was lost for the season after shoulder surgery, Barrett hit on 26 of 36 passes and also ran for 79 yards on 14 carries. It was the first time Ohio State had topped 700 yards in offense since totaling 715 against Utah on Aug. 27, The Buckeyes picked up field goals of 25 and 42 yards by Sean Nuernberger on the first two touches of the second half. Down 36-28, Cincinnati had a chance to pull even on its next possession but Johnny Holton was called for offensive pass interference. The Bearcats were forced to punt, and that proved to be the last opportunity for the visitors to catch up. With Elliott and Rod Smith doing most of the damage on the ground, the Buckeyes came right back to cover 62 yards in six plays to push the lead to before Barrett s final TD pass put it out of reach. The Buckeyes led at the half, but neither coach Urban Meyer nor Cincinnati s Tommy Tuberville could have been happy in the locker room. Coming in, Tuberville was 2-0 against Meyer when both were bumping heads in the SEC, Tuberville at Auburn and Meyer at Florida. The Bearcats scored stunning TDs on their first and last possessions of the half. The first covered 60 yards from Kiel to Moore on the fourth play from scrimmage and the last was an 83-yard bomb that Kiel lofted to Moore, who was running clear on a post pattern. In between, Ohio State dominated. The Buckeyes scored on their first four possessions - 3-yard runs by Rod Smith and Elliott and 19-yard completions by Barrett to Devin Smith and Evan Spencer - and also notched two points when Joey Bosa sacked and stripped Kiel, resulting in a safety. But with the Buckeyes leading 30-7 and at the Cincinnati 38 midway through the second quarter, Jeff Luc knocked the ball loose from Ohio State s QB J.T. Barrett passed for 330 yards and four TDs and rushed for another 79 for 409 yards of total offense in the win over UC. Curtis Samuel and Leviticus Payne recovered for the Bearcats. Kiel, who sat out a series in favor of Jarred Evans, then led a six-play, 58-yard march capped by a 19-yard TD pass to Holton. Cincinnati had trouble stopping the Buckeyes all half but was able to force a punt and Kiel then tossed the long pass for Moore s second TD. It could have been even closer. On the series Evans was in, he rolled right and just as he was being hit lofted a 45-yard scoring pass to Moore. But it was brought back due to an ineligible receiver downfield. Moments later, the Bearcats were forced to punt.

32 GAME 5 RECAP: AT MARYLAND No. 18/20 Ohio State Downs Maryland, Barrett tosses 4 TD passes; defense holds Terps to more than 100 yards below season average COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The 20th-ranked Buckeyes spoiled Maryland s first home game as a member of the Big Ten. Freshman QB J.T. Barrett threw for 267 yards with four touchdowns and ran for 71 yards and a score while RB Ezekiel Elliott finished with 139 yards on the ground in the win. Ohio State s defense was just as dominat, holding the Terrapins to more than 100 yards below their season average and intercepting four Maryland passes. Sophomore Joey Bosa led the way with 2.5 TFL and 1.0 sack. The Buckeyes (4-1, 1-0) scored on drives lasting 3:01, 3:27, 1:18, 1:46 and 0:05 to take a halftime lead and hush the first sellout crowd at College Park in nearly six years. Ohio State has scored 168 points in three wins since losing to Virginia Tech, a stumble that now seems so distant. The Buckeyes might have never played Maryland before, but they marched up and down the field as if they owned the place. The Terrapins (4-2, 1-1) had an impressive Big Ten debut win on the road the previous week at Indiana, but their top highlight Saturday was a school-record 57-yard field goal by Brad Craddock. C.J. Brown started for Maryland despite leaving the Indiana victory with a sprained left wrist. He played the first half and was ineffective and often under pressure, completing 11 of 18 passes for 71 yards with three sacks. He also threw an interception deep in Terrapins territory late in the half. For the second half, Edsall turned to Caleb Rowe. The coach said the move wasn t injury-related and that he was going with a more traditional drop-back quarterback because he wanted to throw the ball more. Edsall said Brown made some poor decisions but added: C.J. s our quarterback. The change mattered little to the outcome. The Buckeyes went back to work making the Terrapins look like, well, terrapins. An 80-yard drive needed only four plays and 1:27 before Barrett hit Devin Smith for a 30-yard down-the-middle strike to make it a four-touchdown lead. Barrett later added a 9-yard scoring run to cap a 60-yard drive that took 4:02 off the clock.

33 GAME 6 RECAP: RUTGERS #13 Buckeyes Roll Past Rutgers, Victory marks the 18th consecutive Big Ten regular season win COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State is on an historic roll, and quarterback J.T. Barrett is leading the way. The freshman completed his first nine passes, ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns and threw for three more scores to lead the 13th-ranked Buckeyes past Rutgers It marked the first time Ohio State has scored at least 50 points in four games in a row in its 125 years of competition. I m focusing on getting the offense better every week and keeping this thing rolling, Barrett said after carrying seven times while scoring on runs of 33 and 5 yards and completing 19 of 31 passes for 261 yards without an interception before departing midway through the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) have averaged 56 points in a four-game win streak since losing at home to Virginia Tech on Sept. 6. They ve made a steady move up the rankings since. Barrett -- a preseason sub for injured three-year starter Braxton Miller -- continues to put up remarkable numbers in his first year of college competition. The victory was Ohio State s 18th in a row in the Big Ten, drawing within two of tying the conference mark set by the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes -- averaging 614 yards per game over their win streak -- amassed 585 total yards. They scored on their first three possessions -- with Barrett going 8-for-8 passing -- and the outcome was never really in doubt again. He hit Nick Vannett on scoring tosses of 12 and 31 yards, the latter on a perfect lead pass over the middle before the backup tight end lumbered to the end zone. In between, Ezekiel Elliott carried four times in a 74-yard march that he capped with a 1-yard plunge. The Scarlet Knights have had plenty of firepower, with one of the Big Ten s best offenses. Gary Nova completed 17 of 28 passes for 192 yards with an interception for the Scarlet Knights, who beat Michigan in their last game before a bye last week. Desmon Peoples carried 15 times for 83 yards and touchdowns of 1 and 12 yards against the Buckeyes. They were still in it down 21-7 midway through the second quarter before a defensive strike by the Buckeyes. Nova flipped a pass on first down deep in his own territory to Janarion Grant in the left flat but he was hit by Lee and then really got cracked by backup defensive end Rashad Frazier. Grant lost the ball as he was going down, with Eli Apple -- a New Jersey native who almost went to his home-state school -- scooping up the loose ball and trotting the final 4 yards. Barrett then scored twice early in the third quarter, and the crowd thinned out as it began to rain. HB Jalin Marshall recorded a career-high 129 all-purpose yards in the win over Rutgers.

34 GAME 7 RECAP: AT PENN STATE No. 12 Ohio State Tops Penn State, 31-24, in 2OT Barrett runs for two TDs in OTs; Bosa finishes with 2.5 sacks STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joey Bosa s Ohio State s teammates had to tell the defensive tackle that he d just finished off Penn State with a sack in the second overtime. The sack on a fourth-and-5 play gave the No. 13 Buckeyes a victory Saturday night. Bosa was the last to know. I was so tired I didn t even know it was a sack, said Bosa, who had 2 1/2 sacks and finished with six tackles. The guys started hugging me and I just went to the ground. This might have been a double-overtime win, but it doesn t make it any less important, winning in a crazy environment like this. Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett had two touchdown runs in overtime after Penn State overcame a 17-0 deficit to tie it. The Buckeyes (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) built a 17-0 lead and were cruising when Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel intercepted Barrett s pass and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Christian Hackenberg threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Saeed Blacknall early in the fourth, and Penn State (4-3, 1-3) tied it on Sam Ficken s 31-yard field goal with 9 seconds left. Hackenberg finished 31-of-49 for 224 yards and a touchdown. In the first overtime, Penn State tailback Bill Belton took a direct snap from the Wildcat formation and scored on a 1-yard run. The Buckeyes countered when Barrett carried two straight times, the first for 17 yards and the second 5 yards for a touchdown. Penn State was called for a personal foul on the touchdown, giving Ohio State the ball at the 12 to start the second overtime. With a third-and-2 from the 4, Barrett powered through the middle of Penn State s defense for a touchdown. I just read the play each time (on the option), said Barrett, who rushed for 75 yards on 20 carries and completed 12 of 19 mostly possession-type passes for 74 more yards. They were giving us the inside. I was going to do whatever I had to do to get in the end zone. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 109 yards on 26 carries for Ohio State. The Buckeyes have won five straight games and 19 in a row in the conference. It s not luck. It was a tough game, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said. Penn State is a very rugged defensive unit. They play hard. If we would have not turned the ball over and took care of business, then we d see what would happen. But that s part of the game. DaeSean Hamilton set a Penn State record with 14 catches for 126 yards. Elliott opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 10-yard run, Sean Nuernberger made a 49-yard field in the second, and Barrett threw a 1-yard pass to Jeff Heuerman late in the quarter to make it Freshman QB J.T. Barrett scores one of his two rushing TDs in the two overtime periods.

35 GAME 8 RECAP: ILLINOIS #16 Buckeyes Cruise Past Illinois, Victory is the 20th consecutive Big Ten regular season win, tying the Big Ten record COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State took care of business by pounding Illinois on Saturday night. Now the Buckeyes can finally talk about the game of the year in the Big Ten next week at Michigan State. The Spartans ended a 24-game Ohio State win streak with a victory in last year s conference title game. Curtis Samuel ran for two touchdowns and J.T. Barrett hit Devin Smith on two scoring passes - all in the first half - as the Buckeyes put first things first in the easy win over the Illini. It extended their Big Ten win streak to a recordtying 20. The Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0, No. 16 CFP) won their sixth in a row - five by lopsided scores. No. 8 Michigan State (7-1, 4-0, No. 8 CFP) has also won its last six. The Spartans will be coming off a bye week. It was right when we got in the locker room, linebacker Darron Lee said. We usually have our coaches talk about who was good on O, D and ST. We skipped that. We know what s coming up this week. Unlike a week ago, when the Buckeyes rolled to a 17-0 halftime lead at Penn State only to struggle before pulling out a victory in double overtime, this one was a landslide early. Barrett, nursing a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and wearing a brace, left at halftime with the Buckeyes up He completed 15 of 24 passes for 167 yards, his touchdown throws to Smith covering 32 and 8 yards. Barrett gave way to Cardale Jones, who lofted a picture-perfect 27-yard TD pass to Dontre Wilson and also hit Michael Thomas on a 19-yard scoring pass. Jones was 5 of 9 for 82 yards passing. Samuel ran for 63 yards on nine carries, his TDs coming on runs of 23 yards and 1 yard, and Ezekiel Elliott had 69 yards on nine rushes for the Buckeyes, who have won the last six meetings. The Buckeyes substituted heavily in the second half while a crowd of 106,961 left early as the score mounted. The game was played in windy conditions with temperatures in the mid-30s. The 20th consecutive Big Ten regular-season win matched the mark set by Ohio State teams from The Buckeyes relied on the Illini s largesse in the opening half. Illinois threw two interceptions - both of which were off receivers hands - and also lost a fumble. The Buckeyes failed on two fourth-down runs deep in opposition territory, punted once - and scored on the other five possessions. O Toole was intercepted by Darron Lee nine plays after the opening kickoff, with the Buckeyes taking just three plays to cover 38 yards. Samuel - who got the start in place of leading rusher Elliott - covered the final 23 yards untouched. DL Joey Bosa recorded 3.0 TFL in the win over Illinois. Barrett hit Smith on his first scoring toss to make it 17-0 before Samuel split two tacklers and backed into the end zone from a yard out. Just before halftime, Barrett found Smith again to make it The Buckeyes played plenty of backups the rest of the game. Barrett still wasn t pleased with his performance. It was very poor, just missing open guys, he said. I knew where to go with the football, it was just more completing it. Donovonn Young s 5-yard run late in the third quarter broke up the shutout for the Illini (4-5, 1-4). They have dropped four of five. After their first possession of the second half, Illinois quarterbacks Reilly O Toole and Aaron Bailey had combined for 58 yards passing - and 56 of them came on O Toole s completion to Mike Dudek. On that play, Dudek set the school mark for yards receiving by a freshman. Bailey, 9 of 16 for 79 yards without an interception, completed a 7-yard TD pass to tight end Matt LaCosse to close the scoring. O Toole ended up 4 of 11 for 58 yards with two interceptions.

36 GAME 9 RECAP: AT #8 MICHIGAN STATE No. 14 Ohio State Scores Statement Win at No. 8 MSU Barrett accounts for 5 TDs, throws for 300 yards and rushes for two more in the victory EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Now it s Ohio State s turn to lobby for a berth in the college football playoff -- a thought that seemed pretty far-fetched when the Buckeyes lost their quarterback and struggled through the first couple weeks of the season. With J.T. Barrett performing brilliantly in place of an injured Braxton Miller, there s no longer any doubt who the Big Ten s top contender is in the national title race. Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more in a sensational performance, and No. 14 Ohio State scored almost at will against Michigan State s vaunted defense, beating the eighth-ranked Spartans on Saturday night. With one overwhelming offensive display, the Buckeyes re-established themselves as the Big Ten s dominant team under coach Urban Meyer, avenged their loss to Michigan State in last year s conference title game, and boosted their case for a berth in the sport s new four-team playoff. This is one for the ages, said Meyer, in his third year as Ohio State s coach. That s how much respect we had for our opponent going into it. We saw what they did. They had one loss and they were actually winning that one game until it kind of got away from them somehow at Oregon. We played a top-10 team and really played our best on the road. Ohio State (8-1, 5-0) came into the game ranked No. 14 by the playoff committee. The Spartans (7-2, 4-1) were No. 8 and looked like the conference s best hope to reach the playoff, but now they ll almost surely drop out of consideration. Barrett became the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes before the season because Miller needed shoulder surgery, and Ohio State lost at home to Virginia Tech in early September. The Buckeyes have won seven straight since. Barrett went 16-of-26 for 300 yards against the Spartans. Ohio State s first drive of the game ended in a missed field goal, and another early possession fell apart because of penalties. Aside from that, the Buckeyes scored a touchdown every time they had the ball until they punted in the final minute of the game. Ohio State rolled up 568 yards of offense against a Michigan State defense that was one of the nation s best a year ago and had been plenty good this season as well. We definitely had something to prove, running back Ezekiel Elliott said. People were questioning our ability to come out and play on the big stage. Just coming into this game, no one believed in us. It was by any measure one of the biggest home games in Michigan State history, but Barrett and the Buckeyes turned it into a scarlet-and-gray party, overcoming a pair of first-half turnovers on special teams and taking a lead into halftime. When the Spartans had to settle for a field goal to start the third quarter, that was the opening Ohio State needed. Michigan State simply couldn t stop the Buckeyes from scoring touchdowns, and now WR Michael Thomas scores on a 79-yard TD reception in the second quarter. Ohio State is in control atop the Big Ten s East Division. Ohio State is 21-0 in Big Ten regular-season games under Meyer. Last year s loss to Michigan State in the league title game was a blemish, but the Buckeyes certainly did what they could to make up for that, handing the Spartans their first loss to a conference opponent since Michigan State led when Ohio State s Dontre Wilson fumbled a kickoff, giving the Spartans a chance to extend their lead in the second quarter. But a holding penalty wiped out a Michigan State touchdown, and the Spartans eventually missed a field goal. On Ohio State s next offensive play, Barrett found Michael Thomas for a 79-yard catch-and-run touchdown that tied it at 21. Then Barrett threw a 44-yard TD pass to Devin Smith to put the Buckeyes ahead with 56 seconds left in the half. After a Michigan State field goal to start the third quarter, Ohio State marched 67 yards in 13 plays, and Elliott s 1-yard touchdown run made it Barrett found Wilson for a 7-yard TD early in the fourth to give the Buckeyes an 18-point lead. Jeremy Langford ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns for Michigan State, and Connor Cook threw for 358 yards and two TDs. The Spartans gained 536 yards and did not have a turnover but still couldn t keep up.

37 GAME 10 RECAP: AT #25 MINNESOTA #8 Buckeyes Defeat #25 Minnesota, 31-24, in Minneapolis Barrett rushes for an Ohio State QB-record 189 yards and passes for 200 more MINNEAPOLIS -- J.T. Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for an Ohio State quarterback-record 189 yards and another score, helping the eighthranked Buckeyes overcome three turnovers and wintry weather to beat Minnesota Barrett completed 15 of 25 passes for 200 yards and one interception, another stellar performance for the freshman following last week s rout of Michigan State. Jalin Marshall had 107 total yards for the Buckeyes (9-1, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP), but he lost two fumbles to give the Gophers (7-3, 4-2, No. 25 CFP) a chance to come back. David Cobb ran 27 times for 145 yards and three touchdowns, but Minnesota didn t quite do enough to avoid a 37th loss in 39 games against Ohio State since Briean Boddy-Calhoun forced two turnovers for the Gophers in the coldest kickoff, 15 degrees, in six seasons at TCF Bank Stadium. The lowest temperature in more than a half-century for a Buckeyes game featured snowflakes collecting on coach Urban Meyer s uncovered head on the sideline. Whether in wintry or summer-like conditions, though, Ohio State has the fastest team in the Big Ten. The 12th-ranked Spartans and their otherwisedominant defense learned that lesson last week. On third-and-1 on the second possession for the Buckeyes, Barrett kept the ball on a read-option play and burst through the line into a wide-open secondary for an 86-yard run, the longest by an Ohio State quarterback. Minutes later, on third-and-7, Barrett slidestepped to his left to elude the rush and put an off(equals)balance throw in stride for Marshall sprinting across the middle as safety Cedric Thompson dived to break up the pass and missed. Marshall turned up the field for the 57-yard untouched score. Barrett has accounted for 38 touchdowns, 34 since the loss at home to Virginia Tech on Sept. 6. The Buckeyes were driving again when Minnesota reversed the momentum. Like a center fielder, Boddy-Calhoun caught up to a long pass at the 5 before whirling around and weaving his way for a 56-yard return of the interception. Five punishing carries by Cobb later, the Gophers were in the end zone. Then midway through the second quarter, Marshall caught a shovel pass on a sweep from the 7 and was on the verge of another touchdown when Boddy-Calhoun lowered his shoulder at the goal line and popped the ball out. DeVondre Campbell covered it in the end zone for the touchback. The Gophers went 80 yards the other way, converting a fourth-and-3 and then scoring on a display of confidence in their power running attack with a 30-yard rumble by Cobb on third-and-15 that tied the game at 14 with 1:24 left before halftime. For Minnesota s shivering fans, waiting so long for a breakthrough in the Big Ten, this proved to be HB Jalin Marshall scores on a 57-yard TD reception in the first quarter. the peak of the afternoon. The Buckeyes, aided by a pass interference penalty, hustled in position for a short field goal by Sean Nuernberger on the last play of the half. Given another break when Doran Grant s interception return for a touchdown was negated by his pass interference infraction, the Gophers watched a 52-yard field goal try by Ryan Santoso soar through the snow with plenty of distance but bounce off the left upright. Barrett responded by finding Michael Thomas wide open for a 30-yard score, and Mitch Leidner was picked off on consecutive possessions. The Buckeyes followed the second one with a 22-yard catch and run by Evan Spencer on third-and-12 to push the lead to 17 points. Marshall s fumbled punt return gave Minnesota the ball at the 14, and Cobb returned to the end zone to bring the Gophers closer as the clock moved under 8 minutes remaining. But Barrett helped the Buckeyes make sure the Gophers didn t get closer, roaming right for 6 yards on third-and-5 during the next drive to put the Gophers in a big hole. Santoso made a 34-yarder with 1:19 left to make it 31-24, but Ohio State recovered the onside kick. Grant and Vonn Bell had the interceptions of Leidner, who finished 7 for 19 for 85 yards.

38 GAME 11 RECAP: INDIANA Marshall Powers No. 6 Ohio State Past Indiana Buckeyes claim Big Ten East Division title; earn second straight berth to B1G Championship COLUMBUS, Ohio --- Jalin Marshall was the problem last week and the solution on Saturday for No. 7 Ohio State. The freshman returned a punt 54 yards for the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and then added three late insurance scores to carry the Buckeyes past Indiana 42-27, the Hoosiers sixth loss in a row. The surprisingly tight game for most of the day could impact the playoff hopes of the Buckeyes (10-1, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP), who clinched the East Division title and a berth in the conference title game. We re conference division champions, we ve won a bunch of games (nine) in a row, said Meyer, whose team also has won a conference record 23 straight regular-season games heading into next week s game with rival Michigan. We have some work to do. Sometimes in college football, things don t go exactly as scripted. The Buckeyes will play the winner of the Minnesota-Wisconsin game in the Big Ten title game on Dec. 6 in Indianapolis. They trailed the 34-point underdog Hoosiers after Tevin Coleman sped 90 yards for a TD midway through the third quarter. A week after rushing for 307 yards, Coleman went for 228 yards on 27 carries for three scores for the Hoosiers (3-8, 0-7). The Hoosiers last chance at a tying score ended with Tyvis Powell picking off a pass from Zander Diamont with 4:25 left, deep in Indiana territory. Marshall caught two more scoring passes after that to pad the lead before Coleman rumbled 52 yards for a score with 1:13 left. We kind of (had) them where we want them, 4 minutes to go in the `Shoe and it s 28-20, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. We were trying to make a play and came up short. Despite the up-and-down day for the Buckeyes, J.T. Barrett set the school mark for touchdown passes (33) in a season and Ezekiel Elliott, who had 107 yards on 13 carries, topped 1,000 yards. Barrett completed 25 of 35 passes for 302 yards and four scores with two interceptions, and ran for 78 yards on 20 attempts. On IU s second possession of the second half, Coleman took a simple handoff, bounced outside and streaked down the left sideline. The 210-pound sophomore was pulling away from two Ohio State defensive backs over the last 50 yards, too. Once in jeopardy of being run out of the chilly stadium, the Hoosiers were up A crowd of 101,426 at Ohio Stadium sounded more like 426. But that all changed late in the quarter after an anemic 35 minutes by Ohio State when Marshall took a low, line-drive punt, avoided an early tackle and then sidestepped punter Erich Toth for the 54- yard return. Marshall scored on a 6-yard shovel pass, made a one-handed grab of a 15-yard Barrett pass to swell the lead to with just over 4 minutes left, then added a 54-yard catch-and-run. RB Ezekiel Elliott became the 30th Buckeye in program history to rush for 1,000 in a season. The Buckeyes, favored by 34 points, cruised down the field for touchdowns on their first two series, taking just three plays and 1:11 off the clock before Elliott burst untouched through a chasm up the middle for a 65-yard TD. Barrett hit Jeff Heuerman for a 4-yard TD that seemed to portend a rout. Then Diamont, who completed 11 of 27 passes for 114 yards, helped turn the tide with a 53-yard scramble that set up Coleman s 2-yard touchdown. The Buckeyes then turned the ball over on their next three possessions and, suddenly, it was a game.

39 GAME 12 RECAP: MICHIGAN #6 Buckeyes Defeat Michigan, Buckeyes become first team in Big Ten history to go 8-0 three straight seasons COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ezekiel Elliott scored untouched on a 44-yard run on fourth-and-1 with 4:58 left to help Ohio State, which lost J.T. Barrett early in the fourth quarter to a leg injury, beat the Wolverines Barrett threw for one TD and ran for two before his right leg crumpled underneath him when he was tackled on a run. Cardale Jones came in for the Buckeyes (11-1, 8-0, CFP No. 6) to lead the drive that culminated in Elliott s long run. Darron Lee returned a fumble 33 yards for a touchdown to add to the lead. Many in a crowd of 108,610 rushed the field after the final seconds ticked off. State highway patrol officers encircled the goalposts to prevent anyone from tearing them down after the 111th meeting of the rivals. Barrett, a Heisman Trophy contender, completed 13 of 21 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown and also ran for scores of 25 and 2 yards while gaining 89 yards on 15 carries. On second-and-1 at the Ohio State 33 on the first play of the fourth quarter and with the Buckeyes leading 28-21, he got twisted at the line and his right leg bent back beneath him at an odd angle. As he was on the field, and after he was helped onto a cart with a temporary air cast on his leg, he was greeted by teammates and Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner. Cardale Jones, a seldom-used sophomore, took over. The Buckeyes punted but the defense stiffened against a much-maligned Michigan offense playing one of its best games of the season. The next time the Buckeyes had the ball, they took over at their own 20. They ended up facing a fourth-and-1 at the Michigan 44. After a timeout, Elliott, who had 75 yards on 15 carries, took a handoff from Jones and surged through a big hole at left tackle with 4:58 left. The touchdown gave the Buckeyes breathing room at They got more moments later when defensive end Joey Bosa stripped the ball from Gardner and linebacker Darron Lee picked it up and ran the remaining 33 yards to make it with 3:58 left. The Wolverines added a late score on a 3-yard pass from Gardner, who ended up 22 of 32 for 233 yards and two scores with an interception to Freddy Canteen. Tied at the half, the Buckeyes took the secondhalf kickoff and wasted little time. Barrett s spiral to Devin Smith on a post pattern was good for 52 yards. From the Michigan 2, Barrett won a footrace to the corner for the touchdown. Michigan then went 75 yards to tie it again. On third-and-6 at the Ohio State 29, Gardner was sacked and fumbled and Ohio State s Curtis Grant recovered. However, Buckeyes defensive end Bosa was flagged for being offside. After converting the short first down, Gardner pitched to Johnson who threw RB Ezekiel Elliott scores on a 44-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. the ball back to his quarterback for an 18-yard gain to the 4. Johnson then took it in from there. The Buckeyes resorted to their running game for big gains of their next possession, tossing in a 22-yard Barrett-to-Nick Vannett pass. Aided by a pass-interference call in the end zone, the Buckeyes retook the lead on Elliott s 2-yard score late in the third.
