Defense Dominates, Chrisman Wins MVP, and Weber Reaches the Century Mark

It's a good day when your defense allows six points in four quarters. It wasn't all pretty, but a 20-point win on the road against the #16 team in the country feels pretty good.

Let's debrief.

The Short Story

For once, it was the Ohio State offense who struggled while the defense and special teams absolutely dominated the game. Ohio State earned the first score of the game on a "pass" from Dwayne Haskins to Parris Campbell, before two Michigan State field goals closed the gap to 7-6.

Ohio State then recorded a safety on an intentional snap out of the back of the end zone on fourth down by the Spartans, then recorded a fumble recovery for a touchdown, and finally a one-yard Mike Weber touchdown to officially ice it for the Buckeyes.
