Ohio State named only two players of the game and only one champion on offense for its win over Penn State.
Jerron Cage earned defensive player of the game honors and Noah Ruggles earned special teams player of the game honors for their performances in Saturday’s 33-24 victory over Penn State, but Ohio State did not name an offensive player of the game as Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only offensive player to grade out as a champion.
Cage made one of the most feel-good plays of Ohio State's entire season when he returned a fumble 57 yards for a touchdown after Tyreke Smith's second-quarter strip sack.
