No. 1 Ohio State Routs Minnesota 42-3 Behind Sayin and Stifling Defense

The performance highlighted a stingy Matt Patricia defense as Julian Sayin's role expanded.

Overview

  • Ohio State moved to 5-0 with a Homecoming victory that held Minnesota to 162 total yards.
  • Julian Sayin completed 23 of 27 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns, his third 300-yard game in five starts.
  • Carnell Tate posted a career-high 183 receiving yards on nine catches with a 44-yard touchdown.
  • The Buckeyes have gone five straight games allowing 10 points or fewer and have not yielded a first-half or red-zone touchdown this season.
  • Ryan Day's career winning percentage rose to .882, a figure local reporting notes would top historical marks with standard tenure qualifications, as Ohio State heads to Illinois then Wisconsin.
