After 71 Ohio State players saw the field in the Buckeyes’ season opener against Florida Atlantic, even more Ohio State players had the opportunity to play in the Buckeyes’ second game of the season against Cincinnati.
In a 42-0 win over the Bearcats on Saturday, the Buckeyes put a total of 77 players into the game, with many of Ohio State’s backups seeing playing time in the fourth quarter after the Buckeyes took a six-touchdown lead.
With the exception of walk-on defensive linemen Aaron Cox and Zaid Hamdan, every other Buckeye who played against FAU also played against Cincinnati, while eight other Buckeyes made their season debuts against the Bearcats.
