Ohio State’s starters played four full quarters for a third game in a row as the Buckeyes played their third straight one-score game at Penn State.
After losing the first of those games at Oregon, the Buckeyes came out on top for the second week in a row in State College, earning their first marquee win of the 2024 season with a 20-13 win over the then-third-ranked Nittany Lions.
Four Ohio State offensive players who played key roles in the Buckeyes’ rushing attack played their highest snap counts of the season. Quinshon Judkins played a season-high 36 snaps as he made his first start as a Buckeye, Carson Hinzman played a season-high 64 snaps as he made his first start of the season at left guard, Tegra Tshabola played a career-high 64 snaps as he was on the field for every play at right guard and Bennett Christian played a career-high 25 snaps as he saw extensive playing time as Ohio State’s No.
