Despite dropping a game in which the two teams combined for nearly 1,100 yards of offense last weekend, Ohio State still put up plenty of highlights in last Saturday night's stunning 49-20 upset in West Lafayette. While the fanbase continues to lick their wounds and look for answers following the shocking upset, the Top Play poll committee still has a job to do, and so do you - the voters.
Yes, the national storyline shows the Boilermakers breaking big play after big play in the final quarter, distancing themselves from a Buckeye squad that was clearly frustrated and out of answers. But even in that last stanza, the OSU offense began to finally show the explosive potential they'd been missing all night. Onto the nominees:
Nominee #1) The Buckeye punt team downs a kick at Purdue's 1-yard line:
Nominee #2) Chase Young and Jonathon Cooper meet at the QB for a sack:
Nominee #3) Johnnie Dixon hauls in a 42-yard touchdown pass to keep OSU alive:
Nominee #4) Touchdown Terry McLaurin takes a slant 34 yards for six:
THIS SEASON'S WINNERS SO FAR:
- Week 1: Touchdown Terry McLaurin races 75 yards for the score
- Week 2: Tate Martell's 47-yard touchdown run
- Week 3: Dre'Mont Jones picks off a shovel pass to put OSU up 26-21
