Noah Brown's insane catch vs. Oklahoma

Noah Brown's one-handed catch against the body of Oklahoma defender Michiah Quick gave Ohio State a commanding 28-10 lead in the second quarter at Oklahoma. It was the Buckeyes' first win of the season against a Top 25 team.

Winning at Wisconsin

Noah Brown caught a 7-yard touchdown pass on the first possession of overtime to give Ohio State a 30-23 lead. Wisconsin had the ball next and the Badgers got to the Buckeye 4-yard line, but failed to get in the end zone. Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook was sacked by Tyquan Lewis to end the game.

Bouncing back after losing to Penn State

Winning back-to-back road games at night is difficult for any team. Penn State had Ohio State's number. The Nittany Lions sacked J.T. Barrett five times in a 24-21 win. Marcus Allen blocked a field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game.

Stopping Michigan State

Another road game had Ohio State's backs against the wall. The Spartans moved to within 17-16 with 4:41 left in the game. Head Coach Mark Dantonio went for two to take the lead, but Tyler O'Connor's pass was intercepted and the Buckeyes were able to hold on for the win.

Beating Michigan in double overtime

Curtis Samuel scored the game-winning touchdown in the second overtime on an end around, but not before Ohio State had a scare. Quarterback J.T. Barrett got the first down on a fourth-down run on a play that Michigan disputed. Replays showed Barrett gained the first down and the Buckeyes were on their way to the CFP semifinals against Clemson.
