Miyan Williams injury: Ohio State RB carted off vs. Indiana as Buckeyes’ backfield depth takes another hit

USATSI

Ohio State running back Miyan Williams was carted off the field Saturday after suffering an apparent lower-body injury in the second quarter against Indiana in an eventual 56-14 win for the Buckeyes. 

Williams took the ball on second-and-6 on the edge of the red zone and was tackled on a routine stretch play. Despite a seemingly routine tackle, Williams quickly realized he injured his right leg and called for a trainer. He was carried off the field by trainers and left the sideline on a cart. Williams didn’t put any pressure on his right leg. 

Williams exploded for 147 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the first half against Indiana. In just nine games this season, Williams rushed for 783 yards and 13 touchdowns. In the two previous games that starting running back TreVeyon Henderson missed, Williams rushed for 300 yards and seven touchdowns on 41 carries. 

The loss continues what has been a frustrating season of injuries for Ohio State’s running backs. Henderson has missed multiple games with a nagging foot injury. Henderson has not cleared 20 carries since Sept. 24, and is not available against Indiana. Arizona State transfer Chip Trayanum plays linebacker, but switched to running back to help with the depth issues. However, he is unavailable against Indiana after getting dinged up in practice. 

True freshman running back Dallan Hayden entered the game in Williams’ place for the next two plays. However, the Buckeyes failed to reach a first down after going for it on fourth-and-1. Williams came into Saturday with 54 carries for 255 yards. No other active running back has more than 10 carries.

TreVeyon Henderson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cameron Brown Among 12 Buckeyes Unavailable Against Northwestern

Buckeye rushing leader TreVeyon Henderson is one of 12 players listed as unavailable on Ohio State’s official status report ahead of the noon kickoff against Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois. Henderson, who has 552 yards and six scores on 96 attempts in 2022, will miss his second full game of the year. That leaves Ohio State with just three healthy scholarship running backs for Saturday’s matchup.

Henderson suffered a foot injury that sidelined him after just four carries in the Buckeyes’ Week 3 meeting with Toledo, and despite returning to action the following week, Henderson sat out in Week 5. Back on the field in Week 6, Henderson’s day ended early against Michigan State following a hard hit at the start of the third quarter.

Starting both games after the bye week, Henderson rushed for 116 yards and two scores on 27 carries against Iowa and Penn State. Both of those touchdowns came in the fourth quarter of last week’s Ohio State win over the Nittany Lions, a contest in which Miyan Williams left with injury after just two carries.

But Williams, who leads Ohio State with 10 rushing touchdowns and an average of 6.9 yards per carry, is available to play against Northwestern’s 109th-ranked rush defense in Illinois.

Ryan Day said this week he expects to see true freshman Dallan Hayden and Arizona State transfer Chip Trayanum, who switched over from linebacker to running back following a season-ending injury to walk-on TC Caffey, receive snaps in the backfield against Northwestern. Fellow walk-on running back Cayden Saunders is also out for Saturday’s game.

Running back isn’t the only position group impacted by injury this week. Jaxon Smith-Njigba will miss his sixth game of the season as he deals with an ongoing hamstring injury suffered in Week 1. This is Smith-Njigba’s second straight absence since returning to play for part of the first half against Iowa after the bye week.

Starting cornerback Cameron Brown will also be out of the Northwestern matchup, which will be the fifth game he’s missed in 2022. Second-year defensive back JK Johnson has started each of the past two games in place of Brown at cornerback, though Jordan Hancock also saw regular snaps in the rotation opposite Denzel Burke against Penn State.

Long snapper Bradley Robinson remains unavailable after suffering a knee injury against Iowa that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the season, and Buckeye captains Kourt Williams and Kamryn Babb are among the other Buckeyes who will be sidelined on Saturday.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cameron Brown Among 15 Buckeyes Unavailable For Ohio State’s Matchup With Penn State

On Tuesday, Ryan Day said “the plan” was for Jaxon Smith-Njigba to play against Penn State. Things didn’t go according to plan.

The junior Ohio State wide receiver is one of 15 Buckeyes listed as unavailable for Saturday’s noon matchup with the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley, which means Smith-Njigba will miss his fifth game through eight contests this season.

After suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener, Smith-Njigba played in just one of the next five games before returning to action against Iowa following the bye week. But after catching just one pass for seven yards, Smith-Njigba left the game in the second quarter noticeably favoring his injured leg.

Day said after the game that Smith-Njigba, who played 22 snaps in the first half before being sidelined, had exhausted his “pitch count” and actually wanted to return to action.

“He’s always been trying to get back out there. He’s a competitor and it’s been hard for him to not be out there more,” Day said Tuesday. “But we wanted to make sure that we kept that number at around about 20 and make sure we didn’t put him out there anymore.”

The record-setting wideout won’t be back this week, though, and his health status will remain a question as Ohio State heads into the final month of its regular-season schedule.

Also out for the Buckeyes this week is starting cornerback Cameron Brown, who will miss his fourth game of the last five as he continues to deal with injury issues. Brown last played against Michigan State before the Buckeye bye week. JK Johnson started in Brown’s absence against Iowa, and fellow second-year cornerback Jordan Hancock is also a candidate to play significant snaps after making his season debut against Iowa.

Starting long snapper Bradley Robinson won’t suit up for the Buckeyes after suffering an apparent knee injury against Iowa last weekend. Day didn’t speak to the severity of Robinson’s injury when asked on Tuesday, but said second-year specialist Mason Arnold would likely remain the go-to option to fill in for the seventh-year senior.

Buckeye captain Kamryn Babb remains unavailable for this week’s game as do Teradja Mitchell, Joe Royer and Kourt Williams, among others.

Veteran defensive end and Buckeye captain Tyler Friday, who missed Ohio State’s last three games due to injury, is returning to action against Penn State.

Ohio State vs. Notre Dame score, takeaways: No. 2 Buckeyes battle back to overcome No. 5 Fighting Irish

No. 2 Ohio State overcame lackluster play and an injury to one of their star players while battling back and ultimately beating No. 5 Notre Dame 21-10 in an exciting season opener. The Buckeyes trailed at halftime and into the third quarter before the Ohio State offense put together its best drive of the night late in the contest as star quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns

That 10-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Stroud to Xavier Johnson that seemed to wake up the Buckeyes and the 100,000 in attendance at Ohio Stadium. It was the last moment they had to cheer, however, as Ohio State followed with an even better drive, going 95 yards in 14 plays to put the game out of reach.

After losing star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to a leg injury in the first quarter, the Buckeyes struggled to find a rhythm on offense, but Emeka Egbuka and running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams stepped up to fill the void.

The Fighting Irish offense got off to a promising start, picking up 54 yards on the first play of the night, but it managed only 199 yards for the rest of the game. Tyler Buchner (177 yards passing, 18 rushing) made some plays, but Notre Dame could never find consistency against an Ohio State defense that played with its hair on fire.

Tommy Eichenberg finished with two sacks for Ohio State, while Mike Hall had another sack and two tackles for loss. With their second-half comeback, the Buckeyes were able to avoid becoming the first top two team to lose its season opener since No. 1 Miami fell to BYU to begin the 1990 season.

Let’s take a look at the key takeaways from Ohio State’s big Week 1 win over Notre Dame.

Ohio State’s defense won the game

There were questions about how Ohio State would perform in Jim Knowles’ first game as defensive coordinator. Early returns are quite promising. While the Buckeyes ended up winning somewhat comfortably, it’s only because their defense picked up a lackluster offense time and again. While Notre Dame hit the occasional big play through the air, the Buckeyes did not allow the Irish to string together significant drives. It looked like a completely different unit than the one that too often allowed teams to move the ball down the field in crucial spots last season.

The most significant difference was the pressure. Knowles threw all sorts of disguises at the inexperienced Buchner. All of it — blitzes, stunts, and pass-rushers like Zach Harrison dropping into coverage — was designed to keep Buchner guessing and unsure of where to go with the ball; it worked, for the most part. The Buckeyes finished with six tackles for loss and three sacks as they held Notre Dame to 5.3 yards per play. More importantly, it allowed the Irish to convert only 3 of 13 third downs while forcing them into third-and-long situations all night. That kept the Irish from being able to sustain drives, and it bought the Buckeyes offense more time to figure things out.

Ohio State’s wide receiver depth is an issue

Who would’ve thought we’d be saying that?! Ohio State’s receiver corps is supposed to be the best in the country, but Smith-Njigba suffered an undisclosed leg injury on the team’s first series and saw only a few more plays the rest of the night. Julian Fleming was already banged up. That meant the Buckeyes had to play with a lot of inexperienced receivers, and it showed. There was miscommunication about where they were supposed to be on routes and the timing was off with Stroud.

Still, things picked up in the second half with Egbuka emerging as the most reliable target. Egbuka finished with nine receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown. Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 56 yards, and while Johnson caught only two passes, his 24-yard touchdown proved the game-winner. In the end, six receivers aside from Smith-Njigba (two catches, 3 yards) caught passes from Stroud on the evening.

Notre Dame must find a run game

Coming into the evening, I thought Notre Dame’s problem on offense would be a lack of explosive plays in the passing game, making it difficult to keep up with the high-powered Ohio State offense. While they weren’t consistent enough throughout the night, Buchner and his receivers hooked up for four passes of at least 20 yards, including a 54-yard connection with Lorenzo Styles on the first play of the game. The problem was the Irish couldn’t do anything on the ground. The Ohio State defense held Notre Dame to only 76 yards rushing on 30 carries. Adjust for sacks, and that number only improves to 95 yards on 27 carries (3.5 per touch).

With a young quarterback making his first start on the road in a demanding environment, the Irish would have ideally gotten more from their ground game to take the load off Buchner. Instead, Buchner had to carry the load, and it went about as well as you’d expect in the long run.

Stroud can — and must — do better

Frankly, Stroud looked ordinary in the first half and shaky to start the second half. It wasn’t until the middle of the third quarter that he seemed to find a rhythm, and from that point onward, Ohio State took control of the game. Stroud’s final stat line isn’t going to turn many heads (not for the right reasons, anyway), but he made big throws late when he had to and helped his team pick up a crucial win.

Ohio State Buckeyes land commitment from ESPN No. 4-ranked wide receiver Brandon Inniss

Ohio State got commitments from two ESPN 300 wide receivers in as many days when Brandon Inniss announced his commitment to the Buckeyes on Tuesday.

Inniss is the No. 25 prospect in the class overall and the No. 4 receiver, and he made his decision only a day after Carnell Tate, the No. 134 recruit overall, committed to Ohio State. Inniss is a 6-foot, 190-pound prospect from American Heritage High School in Plantation, Florida.

He recently released a top list of Alabama, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, Texas A&M and USC, but chose the Buckeyes, giving the program eight ESPN 300 commitments, six of whom are offensive players.

Inniss and Tate continue an excellent run of recruiting receivers for coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline. They signed three ESPN 300 receivers in the 2022 class with Caleb Burton, Kyion Grayes and Kojo Antwi and three in 2021 with Emeka Egbuka, Jayden Ballard and Marvin Harrison Jr.

In total, Ohio State has added 12 ESPN 300 receivers since the 2020 class and the program is coming off of a year where Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were selected back-to-back at No. 10 and 11 overall.

That order, going one after the other, had a factor in how Tate and Inniss decided to announce their commitments, with the two going back-to-back themselves. With a nod to Wilson and Olave, Tate and Inniss are hoping to replicate their success in college and make it to the NFL themselves.

Ohio State Buckeyes honor former quarterback Dwayne Haskins prior to Saturday spring game

Dwayne Haskins’ contributions to the Ohio State football program won’t be soon forgotten.

Haskins, 24, was killed when he was struck by a dump truck on I-595 in South Florida on April 9.

Prior to its spring game Saturday, Ohio State paid homage to its former star quarterback by holding a moment of silence at Ohio Stadium. Players and coaching staff wore “DH” decals or pins.

Haskins’ initials were also placed on the field, near the 5-yard line. Current Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud donned Haskins’ No. 7 jersey as a personal tribute.

During the Buckeyes’ 13-1 season in 2018, Haskins threw for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns — both Big Ten and school single-season records.

Haskins, the 2018 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and 2019 Rose Bowl Offensive MVP, was drafted 15th overall by Washington in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was preparing to enter his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers this fall.

Skull Session: Why Everyone Loves Joe Burrow, Michigan Looking to “Blue Out” Buckeyes, and Greg Oden Stars in Local Commercial

The Bengals are in the Super Bowl.

I’m resisting the urge to turn this Skull Session into a de facto Bengals Blog, because I know my audience and realize a solid portion of you could not be any less interested in that, but I’m going still going to get a little personal anyway. So buckle up, or keep on scrolling. Your call.

For those of you who don’t know, my mom passed away pretty suddenly in September, and I was not prepared for it at all (as if you ever could be). That sort of thing stings a lot immediately, but the real pain comes in the countless times you recognize that empty hole in your life during everyday events in the following days, weeks, months, and probably years.

A place I never really expected to feel that emptiness was during this Bengals playoff run.

Now, I want to be perfectly clear: my mom did not personally give even the slightest shit about the Bengals, the Buckeyes, football, or really even sports in general. But she sure did care about me. And that was enough to make her the biggest (insert team here) fan in the world.

I’ve oddly missed her yelling “intercept! intercept!” whenever the Bengals are on defense. I’ve missed her having no clue about the score of the game until somewhere late in the third quarter. I’ve missed her gigantic gameday spreads that feature far more snacks than a reasonable family could consume in a week. I’ve missed her being so, so excited when our team wins, simply because *I* care.

I never imagined I’d be watching the Bengals in the Super Bowl. But I especially never imagined I’d be watching the Bengals in the Super Bowl without my mom.

It sure stings, and she would have been so excited for me. But I know I still have so much love in my life surrounding this historically terrible team.

I have a brother-in-law named Keith who taught me to be a Bengals fan when I was very small and they were just awful. I say in-law, but he’s been in my life as long as I can remember and has never treated me any less than a real brother. And from a very young age, he took me with him everywhere – including Paul Brown stadium.

He took me to my first Bengals game in 2000. They were 4-12 that year and was one of the coldest games in team history with a windchill hitting -20. But they won, beating the Jags. I attended my second game in 2002 when the team was just 2-14 – they won that game too, beating the Saints. I did the math: the odds of me attending two games in those two seasons and seeing two wins is slightly above 3 percent. I guess I should have gone to more games.

Keith introduced me to the Bengals, and we’ve bonded about that (and Star Wars, and the Cincinnati Reds) ever since. But when I moved to Georgia, my dad helped fill that void. With how local the NFL product is, we couldn’t watch from home and NFL Sunday Ticket wasn’t offered. So my dad took me to a local sports bar to watch the Bengals play – every single Sunday. Like my mom, my dad wasn’t the most interested in sports, but he was interested in me. And he was more than willing to give up his day off from work doing something I loved with me. I’ll never forget that.

Now I have a beautiful wife who grew up in northeast Ohio, was a casual Browns fan and truly could not care less about the Bengals. But she’s been along for the ride and cares because I care – which is becoming a pattern. She has bought me some surprise Bengals gear the past couple of weeks and even got herself a sweatshirt since “now we have to do the Bengals forever.”

I won’t get to watch Sunday’s game with my mom. I probably won’t get to watch it with Keith or my dad, either. Fortunately, my wife doesn’t really have a choice, so she’ll be watching with me. But no matter what, Sunday’s game is going to give me plenty of feels that have very little to do with anything related to the team, the game, or the outcome.

And honestly, that’s why we watch sports, isn’t it?

Word of the Day: Maul.

 WHY EVERYONE LOVES JOE. The whole “is Joe Burrow a Buckeye?” debate is fascinating to me because I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much debate about a player’s allegiance or who can “claim” him in my life.

It’s not just Ohio State, either. Southeast Ohio claims him. Ohio University students claim him. LSU fans sure claim him. Cincinnati claims him. Everybody with any sort of tangential tie to Joe Burrow claims him.

The simplest explanation would be that he’s just very good and everyone is hopping on the bandwagon. I’m sure that’s true to a point, but it doesn’t explain everything or else Ohio State fans would have been going nuts for Jameson Williams this season and beyond.

The real reason is that Joe Burrow might be the most likable high-profile athlete on the planet right now. And it’s not because of anything he does on the field, but how he carries himself off of it.

The dude just always seems to do and say the right thing. Even at the smallest moments. And people pay attention to that.

“He’s a pretty deep guy,” Saltzman said.

“Super, super confident, and he’s not a jerk about it,” Williams said. “But he’s gonna let you know.”

How popular is Burrow in Ohio? Well, if he wins his next game, he’s in the neighborhood of space-traveling John Glenn and title-winning LeBron James. His comps are astronauts and kings.

But the Burrow’s reach doesn’t stop with the football program. It touches Leslie Blanchard, an adjunct professor at LSU also serving as executive director of the school’s Leadership Development Institute. Burrow took three graduate-level courses on leadership under Blanchard, all electives he pursued because he simply wanted to grow as a leader. She joked with him in the summer of 2019 that she wanted him to sign his final paper and send it back before he won a Heisman and a national championship.

After the season — and thanks to her new friendship with Burrow’s mother — Blanchard checked her mailbox. Burrow’s final paper was signed “Joey B” with the message, “Thanks for all the help.”

“I won’t lie to you, I fist bump the air every time a commentator or reporter says, ‘This man shows such great leadership for his age.’” Blanchard said. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, he does!’”

And then there’s this:

At the end of the day, I truly do not care where he was developed, where he learned to throw a football so well, where he learned to be a leader, or where he learned what he knows about the game.

I would just like to have a reason to root for and personally attach myself to someone as all-around awesome as Joe Burrow. And I have a hunch that’s where most Buckeye fans are, too.

 DOES GREG EVER SMILE? The NIL era has its pros, cons, challenges and opportunities.

But without doubt, my favorite thing that it has brought to me is the glorious local commercials.

Like this masterpiece:

I don’t care what NIL does to collegiate athletics in the long run, as long as I keep getting a steady stream of cringingly hilarious local television commercials featuring Buckeye players, I’ll consider it a net gain.

 BLUE OUT. There ain’t much in life worse than losing to Michigan in football, but losing to Michigan in anything else is up there too. The Basketbucks are looking to avoid that this weekend, and it looks like they’ll be doing it in front of a hostile crowd.

Let’s turn that “Blue Out” into a “blow out.” See what I did there?

More seriously, I don’t think I’m emotionally prepared to hear a “just like football” chant in Ann Arbor ever again. So let’s go ahead and make sure Ohio State wins this game and that it isn’t even close, cool? Cool.

 HOLD ON, WHAT NOW? I’m unsure if legal action can be taken at this point, but I just thought all my fellow alums needed to know this information.

To be fair, nothing that’s “free” on campus is actually “free,” but when you’re a student, any fee that’s baked into your tuition feels a hell of a lot different than having to pony up cash every time you need your clothes to not smell like Natty.

 SONG OF THE DAY. “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses.

 NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. The rise and fall of a prison town queen… A drug ring is accused for faking an orca attack to aid in smuggling… The world’s most fascinating abandoned towns and cities… Americans lost $1 billion to romance scammers last year… Grannie was a serial killer… A robot bought my new car for more than I paid for it brand new… OnlyFans creators are making big bucks by cheating on their husbands…

Ohio State football recruiting: Four-star DL Caden Curry commits to Buckeyes on CBS Sports HQ

Ohio State added another significant piece to its Big Ten-leading 2022 class when four-star defensive lineman Caden Curry announced his decision to sign with the Buckeyes live on CBS Sports HQ. Curry got things rolling on what’s set to be a thrilling. National Signing Day across the sport, committing to Ohio State over Alabama, Clemson, Oregon and Indiana. 

Curry ranks as the No. 14 defensive lineman and No. 88 overall prospect in the 2022 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. At 6-3, 250 pounds coming out of Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana, his high level of play attracted the attention of top programs both locally and nationally, and even earned Curry a spot in the All-American Bowl roster. 

“I just felt like the coaches, Coach (Larry) Johnson had the best fit for me and Coach (Ryan) Day showed me the most love and they see me fit well in their program and I feel they can help me the most,” Curry told 247Sports. 

This is another huge win for Ryan Day and his staff on the defensive side of the ball, which is where several of the top names in Ohio State’s 2022 class are found. Five-star linebacker C.J. Hicks and five-star safety Sonny Styles headline the class, which is tracking to finish in the top five nationally for a third year in a row. 

While 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu notes that Curry “comes across as more compact than his listed size,” the projection includes an NFL future and a “very high floor” thanks to his performance against good competition in high school. 

Very productive, disruptive player. Even when he is not the one making the play, he is consistently affecting offenses with his penetration. Gets off the snap quickly and shows the agility to get skinny and get through the line or win with a spin move. Shows violence with his hands. Is able to pursue because he can change directions but also pursues hard. At his best when penetrating, can still get stronger to be able to hold ground against the run more especially projecting him going against stronger college players. Seems extremely high floor because of the way he plays and production against good competition in high school. Still looking for a true verified measurement on him, but a legitimate high major difference maker. Could play end in an odd front or tackle in an even front.

Ohio State Wide Receiver Garrett Wilson Among 13 Unavailable Buckeyes for Nebraska Game

OHIO STATE STATUS REPORT FOR NEBRASKA
UNAVAILABLE
WR KAMRYN BABB
RB MARCUS CROWLEY
SAF JANTZEN DUNN
DE TYLER FRIDAY
DL DARRION HENRY-YOUNG
CB JAKAILIN JOHNSON
BUL JAYLEN JOHNSON
LB MITCHELL MELTON
DL JADEN MCKENZIE
OL HARRY MILLER
DL NOAH POTTER
SAF JOSH PROCTOR
WR GARRETT WILSON

Junior wideout Garrett Wilson, who has a team-high 43 receptions and 687 receiving yards this season, was listed as unavailable on the Buckeyes’ official status report Saturday. Wilson has started every game of the 2020 season so far.

According to Alex Gleitman of Buckeye Scoop, Wilson did not clear concussion protocol and is considered week-to-week. Shortly after the release of the weekly status report, Wilson took to Twitter to address his injury, saying that he is “all good” and that he will be watching Ohio State take on Nebraska from back in Columbus.

With Wilson out, heralded true freshmen Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka are the likeliest candidates to start in his place. Egbuka has six catches for 145 yards so far during his first year, and Harrison has three receptions for 43 yards.

Sophomore wideout Julian Fleming, who did not appear on the status report Saturday, could factor into the rotation as well. The five-star recruit has not played a snap on offense since Sept. 18 against Tulsa, but returned from injury to see some special teams action in last week’s game against Penn State. Chris Olave said Wednesday that Fleming has been fighting through a hamstring issue but that he’s been back on the practice field this week.

Redshirt junior running back Master Teague, who has missed the past two games for the Buckeyes, will be available against the Cornhuskers. Teague is tied for second on the team with 43 carries this season, and has the third-most rushing yards with 245.

Another notable name on the status report Saturday is junior offensive lineman Harry Miller, who has played in just two games this season. Miller, a projected starter at the beginning of the year, has now missed seven of Ohio State’s nine games in 2021 due to injury.

Sophomore tight end Gee Scott Jr. and third-year offensive lineman Enokk Vimahi, who were both listed as unavailable for the past two games, are no longer listed on the Buckeyes’ status report and should be available to play against Nebraska.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Jack Miller, who was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while impaired Friday morning, will also be unavailable for the Buckeyes against Nebraska as he has been suspended from the program following the incident.

Ohio State’s matchup with the Huskers begins at noon Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Snap Counts: 67 Ohio State Players Get In the Game As Buckeyes Rout Indiana in Fourth Straight Blowout Win

For the fourth game in a row, Ohio State was able to take its starters out early and play just about everyone on its bench as it rolled to a blowout win.

On Saturday night in Bloomington, 67 Ohio State players – just slightly fewer than the previous three games against Akron, Rutgers and Maryland – got on the field as the Buckeyes rolled to a 54-7 win over Indiana.

Among the 75 players who made the trip to Indiana, only eight saw no action against the Hoosiers: Wide receivers Kamryn Babb, who’s been unavailable all season due to injury; wide receiver Julian Fleming, who was available but had missed the previous three games due to injury; wide receiver Jayden Ballard, cornerback Jordan Hancock and safety Andre Turrentine, all true freshmen who remain redshirt-eligible; and reserve quarterback J.P. Andrade, kicker Dominic DiMaccio and long snapper Mason Arnold, all walk-ons.

Everyone else who was with the Buckeyes in Bloomington played at least five snaps against the Hoosiers between offense, defense and special teams, and we’ve documented all of the snaps they played below.

Pro Football Focus’ premium statistics were used to compile Ohio State’s offensive and defensive snap counts, while special teams snap counts were compiled by Eleven Warriors data analyst Matt Gutridge.

Quarterbacks

C.J. Stroud: 52
Kyle McCord: 10
Jack Miller: 8

Three Ohio State quarterbacks saw playing time for the third game in a row. For the second game in a row, McCord and Miller both got in the game for exactly one possession. Both of their drives came in the fourth quarter after Stroud played all of Ohio State’s offensive snaps in the first three quarters, in which he passed the ball on just over half of his snaps (28 of 52) and completed 21 passes for 266 yards to lead the Buckeyes to seven touchdowns in eight possessions, including four touchdowns he threw for himself.

Running Backs

Evan Pryor: 27
Miyan Williams: 22
TreVeyon Henderson: 21

Henderson started his fifth consecutive game at running back for Ohio State but ended up playing the fewest snaps of the three running backs who traveled to Indiana as he did not play at all in the second half for precautionary reasons. Ten touches on 21 snaps were all he needed to gain 95 yards from scrimmage and score three touchdowns.

Williams returned to action after missing Ohio State’s previous two games and played as the No. 2 running back behind Henderson, scoring a touchdown on the Buckeyes’ opening drive. But it was Pryor, who did not play at all in Ohio State’s first three games of the season and played in just 18 total snaps in the Buckeyes’ next three games, who played the most snaps of any Buckeye running back against Indiana. After replacing Williams on Ohio State’s second possession of the third quarter, Pryor played every snap at running back for the rest of the game and gained 56 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches.

Master Teague and Marcus Crowley were both unavailable to play against Indiana.

Wide Receivers

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 50
Garrett Wilson: 42
Chris Olave: 41
Marvin Harrison Jr.: 28
Emeka Egbuka: 23
Chris Booker: 16
Xavier Johnson: Special teams only
Sam Wiglusz: Special teams only

Olave, Wilson and Smith-Njigba played the vast majority of wide receiver snaps with the first-team offense for a seventh game in a row to begin the season. Like Henderson, Olave and Wilson did not play any snaps in the second half, but Smith-Njigba stayed in the game for the Buckeyes’ two third-quarter possessions.

Wilson and Olave checking out of the game at halftime opened the door for Harrison to play his largest snap count of his young Ohio State career to date, while fellow true freshman Egbuka also saw extensive playing time in the second half. Booker, a walk-on, joined them in the game for Ohio State’s final two offensive possessions, getting the nod over Julian Fleming and Jayden Ballard even though Fleming was available to play after missing the previous three games with an injury.

Tight Ends

Jeremy Ruckert: 39
Cade Stover: 23
Joe Royer: 11
Mitch Rossi: 7

Per usual, Ruckert started and played the most snaps among tight ends while Stover played the second-most snaps among tight ends against Indiana. Royer, who played his first career snaps in Ohio State’s previous game against Maryland, made the travel roster for the first time for the trip to Bloomington and played 11 snaps in the fourth quarter. Rossi continued to mix in for occasional action with both the starters and backups.

Gee Scott Jr., who saw playing time in five of Ohio State’s first six games as a backup tight end, was unavailable for the Indiana game.

Joe Royer played double-digit snaps for the first time against Indiana.

Offensive Linemen

Nicholas Petit-Frere: 52
Luke Wypler: 52
Dawand Jones: 52
Thayer Munford: 47
Paris Johnson Jr.: 46
Matt Jones: 31
Josh Fryar: 18
Toby Wilson: 18
Donovan Jackson: 18
Jakob James: 8
Trey Leroux: 8

Ohio State continued to play six offensive linemen with the first-team offense for a sixth game in a row, as Matt Jones came off the bench to play snaps with the starters at both guard spots.

Wypler, who has played every snap at center while Stroud has been on the field this season, was the only offensive lineman who played all 52 snaps with the first-team offense in the position he started in. Petit-Frere also played all 52 snaps with the first-team offense, but shifted over to right tackle for his final 10 plays in the game in the third quarter when Munford moved to left tackle. Dawand Jones left the game when Petit-Frere moved to right tackle, but returned to the game for Ohio State’s opening possession of the fourth quarter to play on the second-team offensive line with Fryar at left tackle, Matt Jones at left guard, Wilson at center and Jackson at right guard.

James and Leroux played the first offensive snaps of their Ohio State careers on the Buckeyes’ final possession of the game, on which James lined up at left guard and Leroux lined up at right guard while Jackson moved to right tackle as the two linemen named Jones exited the game.

Defensive Ends

Zach Harrison: 28
Javontae Jean-Baptiste: 25
Tyreke Smith: 20
Jack Sawyer: 15
J.T. Tuimoloau: 12
Jacolbe Cowan: 7
Cormontae Hamilton: 5

Jean-Baptiste made his second consecutive start opposite Harrison and those two played the most snaps at defensive end against Indiana. Smith, who was a starting defensive end for Ohio State’s first three games of the season, returned to the rotation and played the third-most snaps among defensive ends after missing the Buckeyes’ previous three games.

With Harrison, Jean-Baptiste and Smith all healthy for the first time since the Oregon game, Sawyer and Tuimoloau each played their fewest snaps since the Buckeyes’ loss to the Ducks, though Sawyer played more snaps than Tuimoloau for just the second time. Cowan and Hamilton made their fifth game appearances of the season as both of them rotated in for late-game snaps at defensive end.

Defensive Tackles

Haskell Garrett: 20
Jerron Cage: 18
Taron Vincent: 17
Ty Hamilton: 16
Tyleik Williams: 15
Antwuan Jackson: 14
Mike Hall: 10

No defensive tackle played more than 20 snaps against Indiana as Garrett, Vincent and Williams all saw a share of the playing time with the first-team defense at 3-technique while Cage – who made his first start of the season – split snaps with Jackson and Hamilton at nose tackle. Hall, the only other defensive tackle who made the trip to Indiana, played 10 second-half snaps in his third game appearance as a Buckeye.

Linebackers

Cody Simon: 27
Teradja Mitchell: 26
Steele Chambers: 22
Tommy Eichenberg: 19
Palaie Gaoteote: 8
Cade Kacherski: 5
Ryan Batsch: 3

Ohio State continued to utilize a four-man linebacker rotation against Indiana as Simon started his fifth consecutive game alongside Mitchell while Chambers and Eichenberg also rotated in for regular snaps with the first-team defense.

Gaoteote, who returned to action after not playing in either of Ohio State’s previous two games, played all of his snaps on the Buckeyes’ final two defensive series of the night alongside Batsch for one series and Kacherski for another.

Cornerbacks

Sevyn Banks: 38
Cameron Brown: 28
Denzel Burke: 25
Demario McCall: 8
Ryan Watts: 8
Lejond Cavazos: 5

For the first time all season, someone other than Burke played the most snaps at cornerback for the Buckeyes against Indiana. While Burke made his seventh consecutive start to begin his Ohio State career, he did not play any snaps in the second half while Banks and Brown, who both missed two games due to injuries in the first half of the season, played for most of the third quarter. Banks made his fourth consecutive start in Saturday’s game, but Brown also rotated in with the first-team defense for his highest snap count since the Tulsa game.

McCall was the fourth cornerback to enter the game for the Buckeyes in the third quarter, while Watts and Cavazos played all of their snaps in the fourth quarter.

Safeties

Bryson Shaw: 45
Ronnie Hickman: 30
Kourt Williams: 26
Marcus Williamson: 25
Lathan Ransom: 23
Craig Young: 10
Marcus Hooker: 7
Cameron Martinez: 6

Shaw played the most snaps of any Ohio State defender against Indiana as he played every snap at free safety until the Buckeyes’ final three defensive series of the game. Hooker and Martinez finished out the game at free safety, with Martinez also playing two snaps with the first-team defense as a slot cornerback in dime packages.

Williamson made his second consecutive start at cover safety while Ransom, who had rotated with Shaw at free safety for the last three games, moved back to cover safety to rotate with Williamson against the Hoosiers. Young, who was also used as a dime package specialist with the first-team defense along with Martinez and Ransom, finished out the game at cover safety.

Hickman played the entire first half at bullet but played his lowest snap count of the season as Williams replaced him for the entire second half.

James, in his first game as a Buckeye, made his debut on the field goal unit in place of Enokk Vimahi, who was unavailable for the Indiana game. Leroux and Hamilton also saw action on the placekicking unit for the second game in a row as Leroux replaced Johnson for the Buckeyes’ final two extra points and Ruggles’ lone field goal of the day, while Hamilton took Stover’s place in the lineup for Ruggles’ 26-yard field goal, which came in the fourth quarter.

Palaie Gaoteote: 1

McCall joined Ohio State’s primary kickoff coverage unit against Indiana, taking the place of Ronnie Hickman, and played well enough to earn special teams player of the game honors in the process. Everyone else who played snaps on the kickoff coverage unit against Indiana also played at least one snap on kickoff coverage against Maryland with the exception of Gaoteote.

Ohio State only utilized its standard punt block/return unit – which consisted of Kourt Williams, McCall, Ransom, Booker, Burke, Harrison Jr., Johnson, Kacherski and two of Hooker, Mitchell and Young, with Wilson returning – for Indiana’s first three punts of the game. Harrison Jr. forced a safety on Indiana’s second punt of the night when Hoosier punter James Evans bobbled a snap in the end zone and Harrison tackled him.

The Buckeyes kept their defense on the field to play punt safe on each of Indiana’s final four punts, and since three of those came in the second half when Ohio State had many of its backups in the game, 36 different Ohio State players ended up getting snaps on punt returns on Saturday night. Ohio State also used three different punt returners for the first time this year, as Smith-Njigba fielded one punt while Egbuka fielded both of the Hoosiers’ fourth-quarter punts.

Extra Point Block

Sevyn Banks: 1
Denzel Burke: 1
Ty Hamilton: 1
Zach Harrison: 1
Ronnie Hickman: 1
Antwuan Jackson: 1
Teradja Mitchell: 1
Bryson Shaw: 1
Cody Simon: 1
J.T. Tuimoloau: 1
Marcus Williamson: 1

Indiana did not attempt any field goals against Ohio State, and the Hoosiers’ only touchdown came on their opening drive of the night, so this unit – consisting entirely of defensive starters except for a few defensive linemen who substituted into the game – saw the field just once in Bloomington.
