J.T. Barrett, who was already named as the Davey O'Brien Award National Quarterback of the Week and as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week among other awards, unsurprisingly received Ohio State's offensive player of the game honors.
Jordan Fuller was named as Ohio State's defensive player of the game. Fuller played both safety and nickel cornerback for Ohio State on Saturday and was all over the field, recording six total tackles – including a touchdown-saving shoestring tackle on Nebraska wide receiver JD Spielman – and a pass breakup.
Zach Turnure was named as Ohio State's special teams player of the game after recording three special teams tackles, including one inside the 20-yard line, against Nebraska.
