Just about all of Ohio State’s starters saw extensive playing time in the Buckeyes’ eighth game of the season against Penn State.
While Ohio State was able to pull its starters in each of its previous four games, the Buckeyes never led by more than 10 points and ultimately won by just nine points, 33-24, in Saturday night’s game at Ohio Stadium. That meant a full night of work for many of Ohio State’s players for the first time since the third game of the year against Tulsa.
All of Ohio State’s 11 offensive starters played at least 54 snaps, while eight Buckeyes played more than 50 defensive snaps against Penn State.
