Our Honor Defend Military Appreciation Game No. 1 Football Hosts UCLA Saturday Under the Lights of The 'Shoe |
The No. 1 Buckeyes improved to 9-0 on the season following last weekend's 34-10 road victory over Purdue in which Ohio State dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for nearly 41 minutes including six offensive drives of five minutes or more. Heisman hopeful Julian Sayin completed 27-of-33 passes for 303 yards and one touchdown, his third consecutive game of 300+ passing yards, while fellow Heisman contender Jeremiah Smith racked up a career-high 10 receptions for 137 yards and one score. On defense, coordinator Matt Patricia and the Silver Bullets held their opponent to double-digit rushing yards for the eighth consecutive game, limiting the Boilermakers to 94 yards.
This weekend, the Scarlet and Gray return home for a matchup against UCLA (3-6) under the lights of Ohio Stadium. Kickoff for the Buckeyes' Our Honor Defend Military Appreciation game against the Bruins is slated for 7:30 p.m. and will feature Buckeye basketball legend Jerry Lucas ringing the Victory Bell pregame. |
