6 82ND GOODYEAR COTTON BOWL CLASSIC Setting the Stage: Buckeyes versus Trojans 2017 POSITION-BY-POSITION SNAPSHOT DOBBINS BOSA REAL QUICK... USC has won seven consecutive games over Ohio State. The Buckeyes last win over USC came in the 1974 Rose Bowl, a victory highlighted by Archie Griffin s 149 yards rushing. Ohio State also defeated USC in the 1969 Rose Bowl to win its sixth national championship. Quarterback J.T. Barrett will be playing the final game of his Ohio State career approximately two hours (140 miles) from his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas. Head coach Urban Meyer is 14-5 in his career in games played in December or January. The Buckeyes defense has held six of their last eight opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. Ohio State is the only team nationally to rank in the top 10 in both total offense and total defense. The Buckeyes offense is also the only unit in the country to both pass and rush for over 3,000 yards this season. Head coach Urban Meyer is 47-4 in his career with more than one week to prepare for an opponent. RB J.K. Dobbins became the first true freshman in conference history to be named the Big Ten Championship Game Most Valuable Player. Ohio State has won 11 or more games in six consecutive seasons. SCOUTING USC Champions of the Pac-12 and winners of five straight since a midseason loss to Notre Dame, USC is 11-2 overall and finished 8-1 in the Pac-12. Led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who is No. 7 nationally with 3,787 yards passing, the USC offense averages 34.5 points and yards per game. On the ground, Ronald Jones is No. 8 nationally with 1,486 yards and scored 18 touchdowns, fifth best in the country. Darnold s top receiving target is Deontay Burnett, who caught 74 passes for 975 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Linebacker Cameron Smith is a three-year starter and leader on the USC defense that registered a 102 tackles, 10.0 TFL and three pass breakups this year. Lineman Rasheem Green had nine sacks among his team-leading 11.5 TFL while senior linebacker Uchenna Nwosu had a full line of stats including 71 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 13 pass breakups and eight QB hurries. DEFENSIVE LINE Coach Larry Johnson (4th year at Ohio State) Briefly: This unit features depth, talent, experience and 120 combined career starts led by Tyquan Lewis 35, Dre mont Jones 22 and Sam Hubbard s 21. No less than 10 defensive linemen get playing time every game, and there are six players who ve started at least seven games apiece this season. Who are the Rushmen? Four DEs who wreak havoc: Lewis, Jalyn Holmes, Hubbard and Nick Bosa. All-American Bosa: Sophomore Nick Bosa was named a first-team All- American by the American Football Coaches Association. He joins brother Joey as one of four sets of brothers to earn first-team All-America honors for Ohio State. More Awards: Bosa, who led the team with 14.5 TFLs and with 7.0 quarterback sacks, was the Big Ten s defensive lineman of the year. That gives Ohio State four consecutive Big Ten defensive linemen of the year, including Tyquan Lewis last year and Joey Bosa in 2014 and Lewis was first-team all-big Ten this year, Hubbard was second-team and Jones was third-team and Holmes was honorable mention. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ohio State s defense ranks sixth nationally with 100 TFLs and second with 419 lost yards Look no further than the defensive line: 11 different linemen have at least 2.0 tackles for loss After Bosa, Hubbard (10.0) and Lewis (7.5) are next in TFLs and Lewis (6.0) and Hubbard (4.5) are second and third on the team in sacks Lewis has 22.5 career sacks and needs just one-half more to move into Ohio State s all-time Top 5. OFFENSIVE LINE Coach Greg Studrawa (2nd year at Ohio State) Briefly: Three along the line already graduated C Billy Price, senior LT Jamarco Jones and sophomore LG Michael Jordan were named firstteam all-big Ten Conference and junior RT Isaiah Prince was third-team all-big Ten. These four are in their second season starting as a unit with 26 consecutive starts to their credit. Demetrius Knox has played well the past seven games as a starter after Branden Bowen suffered a left leg fracture against Maryland to end his season. Unanimous All-American, Rimington Trophy Honoree: Price, a firstteam All-American in 2016 by the AFCA, was a unanimous All-American this season, the Rimington Trophy winner as the nation s top center and the Big Ten s Rimington-Pace offensive lineman of the year. He is the second consecutive Buckeye center to sweep those awards: Pat Elflein, now starting for the Minnesota Vikings, did so last year. Notable Notes & Numbers: Price, who has started a school record 54 consecutive games, was also finalist for the Senior CLASS Award the offensive line has powered the Buckeyes to national rankings of No. 6 in total offense, No. 5 in scoring, No. 15 in rushing and No. 28 in passing yards per game Ohio State lead the Big Ten in rushing, scoring and total offense, and ranked second in passing. 5

7 OHIO STATE VS. USC RECEIVERS Coach Zach Smith (6th year at Ohio State) Briefly: This unit has been outstanding. All year. And not a senior in the bunch, although there are a couple of fourth-year juniors. There is a core of six WRs who divide reps and all of whom have caught at least 18 passes and at least two TD passes. A seventh walk-on C.J. Saunders has caught 17 passes for 221 yards. Parris Campbell was third-team all-big Ten while K.J. Hill and Johnnie Dixon each earned honorable mention honors. Newsworthy: Eleven different players have caught touchdown passes this season, including seven from the receiving room. Seven have also caught at least 20 passes, nine have caught at least 17 and we are one Mike Weber reception away from 10 players having at least 10 receptions. Leaders: The two fourth-year juniors Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell were each chosen by their teammates to serve as captains for the 2017 Buckeyes. Notable Notes & Numbers: McLaurin leads the unit with eight catches of 20-yards-or-more, including an igniting 84-yard catch and run vs. Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game K.J. Hill has six 20-plus yard receptions Hill leads the team with 55 receptions and is second with 546 receiving yards Parris Campbell, who also played the role of booster rocket vs. Wisconsin with a 57-yard touchdown, leads the team in reception yardage (587) while ranking second with 39 receptions Johnnie Dixon has a teamleading total of eight TD receptions Dixon is just two TD catches away from Top 10 single season status at Ohio State Hill had a huge game vs. Penn State: a career-high 12 catches for a personal best 102 yards. The 12 receptions are tied for fourth in school history Receivers have produced five 100-yard receiving games this season, the most 100-yard receiving games in coach Urban Meyer s six seasons as coach. Previous high was three in 2015 and 2013 Campbell and Saunders vs. UNLV represent the first 100-yard receiving tandem for Ohio State since Ted Ginn and Santonio Holmes did it versus Notre Dame 12 years ago, in LINEBACKERS Coach Billy Davis (1st year at Ohio State) Briefly: Chris Worley, Jerome Baker, Tuf Borland and Malik Harrison have handled the linebacker play the past four games. Worley has started at all three linebacker positions this year and is presently manning one OLB spot opposite Baker with Borland playing well in the middle. The Tackle Box: Jerome Baker, behind a career-best 16 stops vs. Wisconsin, leads the team with 67 tackles. Team captain Worley, despite missing three games with a foot injury, is fourth with 53 stops. Borland is fifth with 52 tackles. Notable Notes & Numbers: Both Baker and Worley were named honorable mention all-big Ten Conference this year Worley moved to middle linebacker on Day 1 of spring drills after playing on the outside last year. He moved back outside after the Iowa game Borland s 12 total stops versus Army were the most by a freshman linebacker since the 2011 season, when Ryan Shazier recorded 15 against Penn State Worley has career-bests of 11 tackles vs. Oklahoma this year and vs. Michigan last year. Baker s previous high, before 16 vs. Wisconsin, was 15 vs. Michigan last season. CORNERBACKS Coach Kerry Coombs (6th year at Ohio State) Briefly: Despite losing two underclassman CBs to the first-round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Ohio State got fine play from a trio of players this year in junior Denzel Ward and third-year sophomores Damon Arnette and Kendall Sheffield. Ward started all 13 games; Arnette 11 and Sheffield two. Led by Ward s 17 passes defended (15 PBUs and two interceptions), this trio has combined for 32 total passes defended. Consensus All-American: Ward, in his first season as a starter, was named a consensus All-American this season. He was named to the Associated Press, The Sporting News and American Football Coaches Association All- America first teams. Arnette was honorable mention all-big Ten. Game-Changer: Ward was outstanding vs. Michigan: career-highs in solo tackles (7) and total tackles (8) plus he had two pass break-ups and a blocked extra point, his second blocked kick of the season. His first: a blocked punt with 11:39 to play trailing No. 2 Penn State by 15. It may have been the play of the game in Ohio State s comefrom-behind, win. The Buckeyes scored two plays later and the rally was on. 4 First-Round Draft Picks: Ohio State has produced four first round NFL Draft DBs in the last two years, including a record three cornerbacks in two years. Eli Apple went No. 10 in 2016 to the New York Giants and last year Marshon Lattimore went No. 11 overall to the New Orleans Saints and Gareon Conley went No. 24 overall to the Oakland Raiders. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ward s 15 PBS s this year rank third in school history and his 17 passes defended rank fourth In his first ever start in the season opener vs. Indiana, Ward had five pass break-ups and a key, fourth-quarter interception Arnette had an interceptions vs. UNLV and Michigan State Arnette leads the CBs with 39 tackles but is followed closely by Ward and Sheffield with 37 apiece True freshman Jeffrey Okudah has played on defense in all 13 games this season. SAFETIES Coach Greg Schiano (2nd year at Ohio State) Briefly: Damon Webb is the senior veteran of the secondary with 26 consecutive starts at safety, including 13 alongside Malik Hooker last season.

He led the nation in pick-sixes with three and ranked third nationally with seven interceptions. QUARTERBACK Coach Ryan Day (1st year at Ohio State) Barrett Briefly: He s a two-time Big Ten champion now, including this year when he led the Buckeyes to an 8-1 regular season mark in the Big Ten and to the title game win over Wisconsin. He was a finalist for the Davey O Brien national quarterback of the year award and he is a finalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose award as best player from the state of Texas. He is the first Ohio State starting quarterback to go 4-0 vs. Michigan and he has set the Ohio State record for QB wins with 37 (against just six defeats). Barrett has claimed 37 school (33) and/or Big Ten (4) records. He holds, among others, school records for passing yards (9,320) and Big Ten records for TDs responsible for (145) and touchdown passes (104). Barrett is seventh in NCAA history in TDs responsible for and is 17th in NCAA history in rush yards by a QB (3,197). Barrett s Streak: Barrett had a streak of 190 passes without an interception snapped against Iowa. His streak included a school record 16 consecutive completions in the third and fourth quarters vs. Penn State. Barrett completed 33- of-39 passes for 328 yards and four TDs in the comeback win over the No. 2 Nittany Lions. In the fourth quarter alone, he was 13-for-13 for 170 yards and three touchdowns. Notable Notes & Numbers: Barrett is just 175 yards from Drew Brees Big Ten record of 12,692 yards of total offense Haskins came into the Michigan game for an injured Barrett with just under 7 minutes to play in the third quarter and proceeded to lead Ohio State to 216 yards of offense, 17 consecutive points and the victory. His top completion: a 27-yard strike to Austin Mack on third-and-13 from the OSU 47 to keep the goahead touchdown drive alive the Buckeyes are 28th nationally in passing yards at yards per game the passing game is also 11th nationally in comp. pct. (64.7) and sixth in pass. eff. (161.74) the Buckeye offense had school record streaks this season of six consecutive games of 500-ormore yards of total offense and six consecutive games of at least 300 yards passing Barrett, Haskins and Joe Burrow combined to throw for a single game school record 474 yards versus UNLV and they also threw a school record tying seven touchdown passes to a school record seven different receivers. RUNNING BACKS Coach Tony Alford (3rd year at Ohio State) Boom Boom: Behind J.K. Dobbins, Mike Weber and J.T. Barrett, the Ohio State run game is hitting at 5.9 yards per carry, the second highest average in school history, in addition to yards per game which leads the Big Ten and is 15th nationally. Of note: Dobbins had 101 rush yards, Barrett 67 and Weber 57, including a gamewinning 25-yard touchdown run, as the Buckeyes went for 226 vs. Michigan s No. 3 ranked defense. Against Wisconsin s No. 1 rated defense and No. 1 rated rush defense, the Buckeyes rushed for 238 yards including 174 by Dobbins. And against Michigan State s No. 3 ranked rush defense, Weber rushed for 162 and Dobbins 124, part of a James Taylor-like steamroller special 335-yard rush total. The dual 100-yard games represented the first by an OSU running back tandem since the 2011 season, when Dan Herron and Carlos Hyde (along with QB Braxton Miller) all topped 100 yards rushing vs. Indiana. Briefly: True freshman Dobbins has starred this season, with a frosh school record 1,364 yards and thus becoming just the fourth Ohio State freshman to top 1,000 yards. The second-team all-big Ten running back and ESPN freshman All-American boasts a terrific 7.5 yards per carry average that ranks fifth nationally. His rush yards rank 14th nationally. Weber, after missing much of the first four games with a hamstring, has come on strong the last half of the season with 608 yards rushing and a team-best 10 touchdowns. Notable Notes & Numbers: Weber s careerbest rushing day vs. Michigan State (162) included a career-long 82-yard touchdown run. It was the sixth-longest rush in Ohio State history and the longest since Ezekiel Elliott s Bama breaking 85-yarder in the 2014 CFP semifinals at the Sugar Bowl. Weber averaged 18 yards off his nine carries vs. Michigan State, missing a school-record by one carry Dobbins had 77- and 53-yard rushes vs. a Badger defense that had allowed just three plays over 50 yards all year. He averaged 13.2 yards per carry against Army, with 172 yards off 13 carries. It was the second-highest per rush average in a game for Ohio State (at least 10 carries) Dobbins is only the sixth true freshman to start the first game of season for Ohio State. The others: QB Art Schlichter in 1978; LT Orlando Pace in 1995; LB Andy Katzenmoyer in 1996; RB Maurice Clarett in 2002; and RG Michael Jordan in 2016 Last year Weber was just the third Ohio State freshman to crack 1,000 yards rushing (1,096 yards with nine touchdowns) and he was the ninth Buckeye to capture Big Ten freshman of the year honors Dobbins high game: 181 vs. Indiana in his collegiate debut.. TIGHT END Coach Kevin Wilson (1st year at Ohio State) Briefly: 2016 starter, senior and honorable mention all-big Ten honoree Marcus Baugh is leading the way with 24 receptions for 264 yards and five touchdowns, including a 25-yard tying TD vs. Michigan and the game-winning grab against Penn State of 16 yards with just 1:48 to play in the game. Rashod Berry has six catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns in his first season with game action as a tight end. Notable Notes & Numbers: Baugh has started 28 times in his career, including in all 13 games last season Baugh now ranks in a tie for eighth at Ohio State for TDs by a tight end with eight. He needs just three receptions he has 51 for his career to move into Ohio State s tight end Top 10 Berry broke four tackles on his second career reception which turned into a 38-yard touchdown reception against UNLV Berry, who played tight end as a red-shirt in 2015 but moved to defensive end last year before moving back to tight end this fall, had three catches for 57 yards in the game Baugh has made TD-springing blocks for J.K. Dobbins 52-yard touchdown run against Army and on Johnnie Dixon s 39-yard touchdown reception against Rutgers. SPECIAL TEAMS Coaches Urban Meyer and Kerry Coombs In Brief: Liam McCullough is in his second season as a long snapper and Sean Nuernberger is in his second year handling all placements. Drue Chrisman is a red-shirt freshman in his first season as the team s punter. Both Nuernberger and Chrisman were third-team all-big Ten honorees. Notable Notes & Numbers: Chrisman has been solid in his inaugural season by averaging 44.0 yards per punt. He was terrific vs. Wisconsin wth a 46.0 yard average, vs. Michigan (45.0) and also Oklahoma (45.8 yard average with all four punts landing inside the 15). A Ray Guy Award semifinalist, Chrisman and the Buckeyes are 11th nationally in net punting at 41.4 yards per punt Nuernberger is 32-for-44 in his career in field goals, including 16-of-20 this year. He has smashed the Big Ten Conference record for consecutive extra points and has now made 174 consecutively including all 68 this year with his most important kick giving Ohio State its first lead against Penn State at As a team, Ohio State is No. 1 in the Big Ten in punting (41.4), No. 1 in kickoff returns (24.2) and No. 5 in kickoff coverage. 7

OUR OFFENSE vs. THEIR TOP DEFENSES Ohio State faced four of the nation s best defenses this season and had impressive showings in all of them. Consider: Penn State was No. 1 in scoring defense, No. 15 in total defense and No. 17 vs. the rush: The Buckeyes scored 39 points, rushed for 201 yards and had 529 total yards in the win. Michigan State was No. 3 in rush defense and No. 12 in total defense: Led by of 100- yard performances from running backs Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State rushed for a season-high 356 yards the most on an MSU team since 2006 in the 45-3 win. Michigan was No. 3 in total defense, No. 1 in pass defense and No. 11 in scoring defense: the Buckeyes scored 31 points, including 17 unanswered in the second half, for a victory. Ohio State rushed for a season-high vs. the Wolverines of 226 yards. Wisconsin was No. 1 in three areas - total defense, rush defense and scoring defense and it was No. 3 vs. the pass: The Buckeyes rolled up 449 yards of total offense 212 above the Badgers season average including 238 on the ground in the Big Ten championship game win. STAYING DEFENSIVE Ohio State s defense has been among the nation s Top 10 defenses overall in each of the past three years and among the Top 20 defenses for the past four years.

The third period was one of missed opportunities for the Buckeyes, who twice had the ball inside the USC 10 but failed to score. Ohio State had staked itself to a lead by scoring on its first two possessions of the fourth period, however. Cornelius Greene led an 82-yard drive, covering the final 3 yards himself for the first score. Following a USC fumble at its own 30, Tom Klaban kicked a field goal when the Buckeyes stalled out. Haden, starting at the USC 17, took the Trojans 83 yards to the winning touchdown and conversion. Tom Skladany s 62-yard field goal try fell short on OSU s ensuing drive.

Built in 1922 at a cost of $1.3 million and refurbished in 2001 for slightly more than $194 million, the horseshoeshaped stadium is a monument to college football. As part of the renovation, the once portable South Stands became a permanent fixture. Ohio Stadium is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Anyone who has seen a game in the giant horseshoe understands why. There are few experiences in athletics that are more enjoyable!

He has coached the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014 the program s eighth by winning the first College Football Playoff (CFP), to a repeat appearance in the CFP in 2017, to six consecutive Big Ten conference divisional titles and Big Ten crowns in 2014 and 2017, to a 47-3 record in Big Ten games and to a 18-5 record versus ranked teams. He has done this by developing and overseeing a program culture that requires accountability, promotes respect, prepares young men for life after football and develops football skill sets and talents at an unsurpassed rate: his program has produced 33 NFL draft picks the last five years, including 10 first-round picks and record numbers of draft picks through the second, third and fourth rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft. And his team members are getting it done in the classroom, as well. Ohio State Buckeyes have earned four academic All-American honorees the past three years, one National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete award and the team is coming off its finest academic semester under Meyer last fall with record numbers of students with 3.0 (or above) grade point averages for the semester and cumulatively.
