In the final home game of the season, Ohio State scored on its opening drive and never looked back. As the Buckeyes pulled away in the second half, Ryan Day called on 10 true freshmen in Ohio State's 37-3 trouncing of Minnesota. The final score was only the second time in school history for the Buckeyes to win a game with that exact score. The first? TCU in 1973.
It was a quiet night for the first-year players in the stat book, but there were some notable achievements. Carnell Tate caught one pass for six yards and now has caught a pass in seven consecutive games.
