Records are broken every season with the Ohio State football team. Those moments happen on the field, but they are recorded by a team of a dozen statisticians working in a small booth high above the field.
"We're charged with keeping track of every play, and everything that happens on every play," said Michael Basford, an athletic department staffer who leads the crew.
When the ball is snapped, a crew of three people record what happens on the offensive side of the ball. Another crew, on the other side of the booth, record what happens on the defensive side of the ball.
