It's the most times its happened in a single-season for the Buckeyes, who have seen mixed results in the first two contests. The first game was Ohio State's 32-31 loss at No. 3 Oregon. The second was the Buckeyes' 20-13 win over No. 3 Penn State. This one will serve as a rubber match of sorts.

The Ohio State defense line was disappointing against Northwestern but really showed up today. Jack Sawyer looked like an All-American with 1.5 sacks and four total tackles while J.T. Tuimoloau also looked good with a sack of his own and five total tackles.
