QB C.J. Stroud ranks in the top five nationally in five different statistical categories and is the nation’s leader in two: pass efficiency (188.2) and touchdowns (34). He’s second in yards per attempt (9.92), third in passes of 30-plus yards (21) and fifth in yards per completion (14.78).
300-300
Prior to Ryan Day, Ohio State had three games this century with at least 300 yards rushing and passing, and just five such games in recorded history. After Saturday’s 340-322 rushing-passing “Day-lie” double vs. Indiana, Day’s teams have accomplished the feat four times.
71
Ohio State has scored 20-or-more points in 71 consecutive games, which two weeks ago passed Oklahoma for the FBS record. (Source: BTN)
40
Ohio State has scored 40-or-more points 34 times in 48 games with Ryan Day as head coach. Included in this total is 40-or-more scored against every Big Ten team except Illinois, which Ohio State hasn’t played with Day as head coach.
11
Marvin Harrison Jr. is within striking distance of 1995 Biletnikoff Award winner Terry Glenn’s single season school record of 17 TD receptions. Harrison has 11 so far this sea-son and ranks third nationally.
78
Stroud is fourth in Big Ten history with 78 touchdown passes thrown in his 22 starts (3.5 TD passes per game). Chad Henne (87), Drew Brees (90) and J.T. Barrett (104) are the only players with more.
5
Ohio State is Top 10 in five key defensive stats: 7th in total defense (271.5), 5th in first downs (135), 6th in third down convers. (.279; 41-147), 6th against the pass (161.2 ypg) and 7th in scoring (15.6 ppg).
30-1
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is 30-1 in Big Ten Conference games, and he also has two Big Ten championship game wins. His teams are 19-3 on the road and/or on neutral field games.
