• Ryan Day’s Buckeyes have scored 40 or more points in 30 of the 43 games that he’s coached.
• Miyan Williams’ five rushing touchdowns in one game tied the Ohio State single-game record. Only two other Buckeye backs have found the endzone five times in one game: Pete Johnson did it first against North Carolina in 1974, and Keith Byers matched him against Illinois in 1984.
• With his 189 rushing yards against Rutgers, Miyan Williams now has over 1,000 rushing yards in his career. It’s also the fourth 100+ yard game of his career and his 21 rushing attempts are a career-high, topping his previous high of 14.
• Williams’ 189 yards also puts him in the top-35 for single-game rushing yards in Buckeye football history.

• Williams scored on the ground three times in the first half alone, which had not been done by a Buckeye back since TreVeyon Henderson last season against Tulsa.
• CJ Stroud’s touchdown pass to Julian Fleming gave the Buckeyes 20 points on the dot, making it the 66th consecutive game where they have scored 20 or more points. They are now three games away from tying the all-time FBS record of 69 straight games set by Oklahoma that ran from 2016-2021.
• With his two touchdown passes against the Scarlet Knights, CJ Stroud is now just one away from tying Justin Fields’ 63 for second on the Buckeyes’ all-time list.
• Linebacker Steele Chambers had eight solo tackles, a season-high for the defense, and added a fourth quarter interception to set up a touchdown. He led the team with 11 total tackles.
• Tommy Eichenberg had another stand-out game, finishing with nine combined tackles, a shared TFL and a QB hurry.
• Marvin Harrison scored his sixth touchdown of the season in the third quarter, a four-yard strike from Stroud.
