Raekwon McMillan always seems to find himself around the football and his role in Ohio State's defense seems to grow every week.

McMillan had another solid game for the Buckeyes on Saturday as they rolled to a 56-17 win over Rutgers. The freshman linebacker had five tackles including a picture-perfect hit on a Rutgers receiver in the first half on a crucial third-down play.

Coming off an injury, Samuel didn't enter the game until the second half, but he quickly made an impact. He carried the ball just four times, but gained 59 yards on those attempts with a long rush of 34.

Freshman safety Erick Smith made three tackles for the Buckeyes.

No true freshman made their debut and through six games, 11 of the freshman have been on the field at some point for Ohio State.

UPDATE: Late in the fourth quarter, Raekwon McMillan forced a fumble that was recovered by fellow freshman Erick Smith. This was originally left out of the story, but the results have been added to the table below.
