After a sluggish first-half performance by the offense, the Buckeyes turned to Sermon in the second half. He never looked back, dominating on the ground on his way to 331 yards, a single-game record for Ohio State. He breaks the previous record set by Eddie George in 1995.

Beyond the yardage, Sermon scored the only two touchdowns of the game for the Buckeyes. It allowed Ohio State to take the lead and hold the lead over Northwestern all the way to the B1G Championship.
