All but 11 players who made the trip to Michigan State for Ohio State’s first Big Ten game of the season saw action in East Lansing.
While Ohio State leaned mostly on its starters for the first three quarters of its 38-7 win over the Spartans, the Buckeyes put their backups for the fourth quarter to finish out Ohio State’s 31-point win.
The only Buckeyes who made the 74-man travel roster for the first road game of the year that didn’t get on the field in some capacity were quarterbacks Lincoln Kienholz and Chad Ray, running back Sam Williams-Dixon, wide receiver Mylan Graham, offensive linemen Joshua Padilla and Toby Wilson, defensive tackle Tyleik Williams (who was held out of the game while continuing to recover from an injury), safety Jayden Bonsu and backup specialists Austin Snyder, Nick McLarty and Collin Johnson.
