Ohio State named quarterback Dwayne Haskins and linebacker Tuf Borland as its players of the game for Saturday's 49-26 win over Indiana, the team announced Sunday on social media.

Haskins earns Ohio State's offensive player of the game honors for the third time this season, having previously earned those honors for the Buckeyes' wins over Rutgers and TCU, after throwing for 455 yards – the second-highest total in school history – while tying school records with 33 pass completions and six passing touchdowns. He received a 90 percent grade for his performance from Ohio State's coaching staff.

Borland earned his first defensive player of the game honors of the season after recording three total tackles, including two tackles for loss and a sack, and forcing a fumble for the second consecutive week in Saturday's win. He also received a 90 percent grade from his coaches.

For the first time all season, Ohio State did not name a special teams player of the game this weekend.
