A quarter of the way through Ohio State's regular season and it's Notre Dame week. While a big test lies ahead for the Buckeyes in South Bend Saturday night, I want to take a look back on the first three games of the season.

This Week's Question: Who has been the most surprising player on both sides of the ball for Ohio State so far this season?

While Cade Stover must continue to work on his blocking, the fact that he has 188 yards (second on the team behind only Marvin Harrison Jr.) is not something I expected. It's clear that Stover has taken advantage of the defense focusing on Harrison and Emeka Egbuka.

Defensively, Denzel Burke becoming a dominant, lockdown cornerback has been great. That said, Tyleik Williams being second on the team in tackles (17) is likely something no one could have seen coming even if there's still plenty of season left. Add in his touchdown during Saturday's blowout win over Western Kentucky and Williams has had one heckuva start to the season.
