Noah Ruggles Named Big Ten Co-Special Teams Player of the Week, But Ohio State’s Big Ten Freshman of the Week Streak is Over

Ohio State‘s Big Ten freshman of the week streak is over, but a first-year Buckeye was honored by the conference again this week.

While Ohio State’s run of winning the Big Ten freshman of the week award after every game it’s played this season came to an end – Michigan wide receiver Andrel Anthony and Minnesota running back Mar'Keise Irving split the award this week – North Carolina transfer kicker Noah Ruggles was named the Big Ten’s co-special teams player of the week after he made all four of his field goal attempts in Ohio State’s 33-24 win over Penn State on Saturday.
