Skull Session: Ohio State continues its historic domination of Rutgers, Jesse Mirco's fake punt goes viral and Miyan Williams places his name in the Buckeye record book.
Fun fact: Byars lost his shoe about halfway through his 67-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Despite that, he still sped past the Illinois defense and ran all the way to the end zone. As you can imagine, Ohio Stadium went crazy.
Williams was right. Johnson and Byars are Ohio State legends, and these two games from them are only a small part of their stories as Buckeyes. May Williams’ five-touchdown performance against Rutgers be only a small part of his story here, too.If Ohio State's season ended after the Rutgers game, Ryan Day would have his preseason expectations of a top-10 defense met by Jim Knowles and the Silver Bullets.The Buckeyes rank No. 10 in total defense through five weeks .
When using conference-only statistics, Knowles' unit ranks No. 2 in scoring defense, No. 1 passing defense and No. 8 rushing defense in the Big Ten after Ohio State's wins over Wisconsin and Rutgers in the last two games. The Buckeyes will face a spiraling Michigan State team this weekend, which should only improve their defensive standing nationally and in the Big Ten, as the Spartans' offense has struggled to consistently produce in three consecutive losses.
