Prince, who has demonstrated significant improvement this season after struggling in pass protection as a sophomore, led a strong effort by Ohio State's offensive line on Saturday. The Buckeyes scored on six of their seven offensive possessions in the first half before taking most of their starters, including Prince, out of the game for the second half.

Bosa recorded a career-high three tackles for loss, including one sack, among four total tackles on Saturday. Jones recorded only one tackle, but it was an impactful one, as his tackle for loss on UNLV running back Lexington Thomas in UNLV's own end zone resulted in a safety and two points for the Buckeyes. Both players brought constant pressure into UNLV's backfield while they were in the game; Bosa also tipped a pass that led to a Damon Arnette interception, while Jones also blocked a field goal attempt.

Goins, who celebrated his birthday on Sunday, led the Buckeyes with three tackles in kickoff coverage.

All four players earned their first Player of the Game honors of the season.
