COLUMBUS — Following Ohio State’s 49-6 win over Tulane on Saturday, the Buckeye coaches have graded the plays and named 20 Champions on offense, defense, and special teams.
The players of the game were H-back Parris Campbell on offense, Sam linebacker Dante Booker on defense, and punter Drue Chrisman on special teams.
Campbell caught a career-high eight passes for a career-high 147 yards and a career-high two touchdowns. All eight receptions took place in the first half.
Booker tied for the team lead with four tackles and one sack. He also contributed a team-high three tackles for loss. All while coming off of the bench.
Chrisman only punted twice, but averaged 44 yards per punt and put both of his kicks inside the 20-yard line.
Offensively for the Buckeyes, the entire offensive line was named Champions for the third time this season. Isaiah Prince, Thayer Munford, Demetrius Knox, and Michael Jordan have graded out as Champions every week this season.
The other Champions on offense were quarterback Dwayne Haskins — who was named Big Ten co-offensive player of the week, tailback J.K. Dobbins, receivers K.J. Hill, Terry McLaurin, Jonnie Dixon, Austin Mack, and Binjimen Victor, and tight end Luke Farrell.
Dobbins, Hill, Campbell, and McLaurin are the four other Buckeyes on offense who have been named Champions each week this season.
Defensively, there were only five Champions named. Joining Booker were freshman defensive end Tyler Friday, cornerback Kendall Sheffield, and safeties Jordan Fuller and Isaiah Pryor.
Fuller has been named a Champion each week he has played this season. This was the first week that Nick Bosa, Robert Landers, and Dre’Mont Jones weren’t named Champions. Bosa and Landers sat out the game with injuries.
