The awards are starting to trickle in for the dominant all-around performance on Saturday Night in Norman. On Monday morning, three outstanding Buckeye players were given prestigious awards.
Baker Earns Top Defensive Honors in B1G
For a guy who was supposed to be a back-up, Jerome Baker really made his presence known on Saturday night as he recorded seven tackles, 1.5 sacks, and had an interception which he promptly returned for a touchdown. Just watch the video below and pay close attention to his acceleration after he catches the ball. For his effort, Baker earned B1G Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors with Jabrill Peppers.
Brown Earns Top Offensive Honors in B1G
Through two games, we have all been waiting for that Noah Brown break-out game. For the better part of one and a half years, every coach and player has been talking about how good Noah Brown was but it had yet to really translate into actual production at Ohio State until Saturday night…then the break-out game occurred. Even though the passing game was moved to the back burner with the running game’s success, Brown was very productive catching five balls for 72 yards and four touchdowns.
Johnston Earns National Award
The Australian super hero Cameron Johnston had an amazing game on Saturday and was rewarded with the Ray Guy National Punter of the Week Award. Johnston had five punts and averaged 50.6 on those kicks. Even more amazingly, all five of his punts were downed or fair caught inside the OU 15 yard line. The biggest punt came on his first punt. Oklahoma had just driven all the way downfield and missed a field goal. OSU went three-and-out and was punting from deep in OU territory…the crowd was going wild and things could have gotten out of hand with a bad punt or big kick return. Johnston responded with a 68 yarder which gave OU the ball at the 11 and completely flipped the field.
