Ohio State Utilizes 60 Players For Third Straight Week in 30-14 Win over Minnesota

For the third week in a row, Ohio State played its starters for all four quarters and put exactly 60 players on the field in its 30-14 win over Minnesota on Saturday.

Of the 60 Ohio State players who saw game action one week earlier in its 49-26 win over Indiana, 56 saw the field again versus the Golden Gophers.

Defensive end Jonathon Cooper, linebacker Malik Harrison and kicker Sean Nuernberger did not play against Minnesota due to injuries, while linebacker Teradja Mitchell also did not play. That said, four Buckeyes who did not see the field against the Hoosiers were utilized against the Gophers: running back Master Teague, wide receiver Ellijah Gardiner, defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson and safety Marcus Hooker, with Hooker seeing the first playing time of his Ohio State career.
