To say that Ohio State’s matchup with Penn State was a walk in the park would be the furthest thing from the truth. The Nittany Lions came to play on both sides of the ball and made the Buckeyes earn a hard-fought 33-24 victory Saturday.
After each game, the coaching staff goes through the film and grades each individual on their performance. The coveted mark that every player strives for is a grade of “Champion.” Anything other than that isn’t quite reaching the fullest of a player’s production and expectation for the week.
On that note, Ohio State just released its Champions and Players of the Game for the contest against Penn State, and, in a little change from the norm, only one offensive player graded out as Champion, with a total of nine from the defense.
Here are all the Champions and Players of the Game as announced by the Ohio State football program resulting from the tussle with the Nittany Lions. It must be noted, it appears as though OSU did not name an Offensive Player of the Game this week.
