Zach Harrison — a key defensive end for Ohio State — was a man on a mission Saturday.

The senior dominated Iowa, earning the highest PFF grade in all of college football on Saturday with a grade of 97.5 per Dan Hope with Eleven Warriors.

Harrison was the driving force for Ohio State’s defense, which allowed just 158 yards of total offense and no touchdowns on Saturday. Harrison had 2 tackles, 1 sack and 1 forced fumble on the game.

So far on the year, Harrison has racked up 7 tackles, a sack and 2 forced fumbles. On his career, he has amassed 49 tackles, 9.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles.

Following the win, head coach Ryan Day and DC Jim Knowles were among the group to heap praise on Harrison’s work. Knowles especially praised the veteran defender as “elite” so far in 2022.

Ohio State has looked like one of the best teams in the country so far this year, plowing through its opponents on the way to a 7-0 start. The Buckeyes now look to face rival Penn State next week.
