Ohio State named 20 champions, including six players of the game, for its 34-10 win over Michigan State on Saturday.
Jashon Cornell and Shaun Wade earned defensive player of the game honors, J.K. Dobbins and Thayer Munford earned offensive player of the game honors and Drue Chrisman and Chris Olave share special teams player of the game honors for their performances in the Buckeyes' 24-point win over the Spartans.
Cornell recorded four total tackles with one sack and created regular disruption on Ohio State's interior defensive line on Saturday, while Wade recorded five total tackles with a sack and a pass breakup and made plays all over the field for the Buckeyes' defense against the Spartans.
Dobbins ran for 172 yards on 24 carries, highlighted by a 67-yard touchdown run, against a run defense that had allowed just 1.86 yards per carry entering Saturday's game, while Munford led the offensive line and played all 76 snaps at left tackle despite suffering an apparent injury that forced him to limp off the field following a third-down stop in the first quarter.
Chrisman averaged 48.2 yards per punt on four punts, which also earned him a spot on the Ray Guy Award's "Ray's 8" for this week, while Olave's work as a gunner prevented Michigan State from returning any of those punts.
Running back Master Teague, tight end Luke Farrell, wide receiver Austin Mack, left guard Jonah Jackson and center Josh Myers also earned champion honors for Saturday's game on offense, while defensive ends Chase Young, Tyreke Smith and Zach Harrison, defensive tackles Davon Hamilton and Robert Landers, linebackers Tuf Borland, Baron Browning and Malik Harrison and safety Jordan Fuller also earned champion recognition on defense.
Defensive end Alex Williams, safety Ryan Batsch, wide receiver Xavier Johnson and guard Enokk Vimahi earned Ohio State's scout team player of the week honors for their work in helping the Buckeyes prepare for Michigan State.
