Ohio State football selected its players of the game from Saturday's win at Purdue.
However, he was also charged with three drops — as many as he had on 118 targets all last season per pro football focus. Julian Fleming committed a drop on OSU’s first snap of the game. Xavier Johnson arguably was guilty of one as well.
Stover had to work for a couple of those catches. On a second-and-10 route up the seam he turned around mid-stride to make a back-shoulder catch and convert the first down. One of his touchdown receptions came on a third-and-goal pass from the 4, where he had to reach back and snag it from in front of a defender.
• J.T. Tuimoloau and Tyleik Williams shared defensive player of the game honors. The team said Tuimoloau, a defensive end, graded at 93% along with his 1.5 sacks. Williams, a defensive tackle, posted two tackles for loss and two pass brekaups.
