Ohio State Notes
URBAN MEYER'S STREAKS
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has lost five times in this, his fifth year as head coach. He's won 56 times. He has also led his Buckeyes to a school record 24- game winning streak and another 23-game winning streak; an NCAA record 30 consecutive conference wins; a school-record 20 consecutive true road victories and a Big Ten record-tying 17 consecutive Big Ten road wins. Those mutually inclusive last two road winning streaks came to an end Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa.
BARRETT HITS 90 TDS RESPONSIBLE FOR
Junior quarterback J.T. Barrett, who set the Ohio State record for touchdowns responsible for (passing and rushing) in the overtime win over Wisconsin, added his 90th career touchdown Saturday vs. Penn State, a 26-yard touchdown pass to TE Marcus Baugh. The touchdown moves Barrett within striking range of the most in the Big Ten since 1996, according to the statistical database Stats LLC.
FIRST NORTHWESTERN VISIT IN NINE YEARS
This will be the first Ohio State/Northwestern game in Ohio Stadium in nine years, or since Sept. 22, 2007. The teams have played just twice since that game with both contests in Evanston: a 45-10 Ohio State win in 2008 and a 40-30 Ohio State win in 2013.
