Pete Johnson is first in two single season top 10 lists.
SINGLE SEASON POINTS
Like touchdowns, Pete Johnson tops the single season points list. This list looks very similar to the touchdowns list, except three kickers were able to sneak onto this list.

Keith Byars scored more points in two seasons than any other Buckeye.
BY THE DECADE
The 1970s and 2010s have a combined five players on this list. What makes the 2010s even more impressive is that there are still four more years to add more players to the list. I was surprised that the 1990s only had one player (Eddie George).
KEITH BYARS THE SCORING MACHINE
Although Keith Byars doesn not hold the scoring record, he did score 276 points between 1983 and 1984. That is the most points scored by a single player at Ohio State in a two year span.

89 of Nuernberger's 128 points came from extra points. His 89 made extra points is a new Ohio State record for a season. Nuernberger became the first kicker since Devin Barclay to make all of his extra point attempts.
