Two Buckeyes earned Big Ten weekly honors on Monday.

Julian Sayin is the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the fourth time this season after he completed 20 of 23 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns in Ohio State's win over Penn State. Arvell Reese earned his first Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award of the year for his efforts against the Nittany Lions, which included a team-leading 12 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack.

Sayin has looked like the best quarterback in college football this season, but especially in Ohio State's past five games, as he completed 120 of 147 passes (82%) for 2,188 yards, 15 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
