COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Buckeyes claimed a hat trick in weekly honors handed out by the Big Ten.
Carlos Hyde (above), Bradley Roby and Joey Bosa were all named players of the week after Ohio State’s 40-30 win over Northwestern.
Hyde, a senior running back from Naples, Fla., was named Co-offensive Player of the Week for racking up a career-high 168 rushing yards and four catches for 38 yards to amass 206 yards of total offense. He also scored three second-half touchdowns and was responsible for 15 first downs to help Ohio State come from behind in Evanston.
Roby, a junior cornerback from Suwanee, Ga., was named Special Teams Player of the Week after he blocked a Northwestern punt in the end zone in the first quarter, then made the recovery for Ohio State’s only touchdown of the first half.
Joey Bosa, a defensive end from Fort Lauderdale, was the conference’s Freshman of the Week. He finished with five tackles, including his first two career sacks, and recovered a Wildcat fumble in the end zone as time expired, giving the Buckeyes the final score of the game.
Ohio State (6-0, 2-0) is idle this week.
