Forced to overcome a slow start against an unranked opponent at Ohio Stadium for the second straight week, Ohio State battled past Minnesota to improve to 7-0.
Sure, Ohio State is 7–0, but the Buckeyes were held under 100 yards rushing for only the third time under Urban Meyer, part of a troubling trend with the running game.
Penalty trouble nearly sank No. 5 Ohio State's shot at a sweep of Minnesota State but the Buckeyes pulled out an OT win in the series finale and take all six conference points.
Ohio State quarterbacks have thrown for over 400 yards in a game just three times. Dwayne Haskins accounts for two of those games, in consecutive weeks.
