Ohio State took care of business against another B1G East foe in Week 5. Ohio State beat Rutgers 49-10 to remain as one of the three undefeated teams in the B1G.

Following the win, the team announced its Offensive and Co-Defensive Players of the Game. Miyan Williams, Steele Chambers, and Zach Harrison were all highlighted after how they played.

Williams was the starting running back in place of TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson has been dealing with a foot injury ever since the Toledo game in Week 3, and missed the Rutgers game.

Williams was the team’s leader in rushing yards against Rutgers. Williams finished the game with 189 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns.

Chambers had 8 solo and 3 assisted tackles with 1 interception. Harrison had 1 forced fumble and 1 pass break up.

Other than forcing turnovers, the Ohio State defense did not allow Rutgers to move the ball easily. The Scarlet Knights finished the game with 187 total yards of offense.

The Buckeyes face Michigan State next on Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. ET on ABC.
