OK, here are the guys that played:


OFFENSIVE LINEMEN​

Josh Simmons: 69
Donovan Jackson: 69
Carson Hinzman: 69
Matt Jones: 69
Josh Fryar: 69
Luke Montgomery: 4
Zen Michalski: 3
Tegra Tshabola: 3
Victor Cutler Jr.: 3
Enokk Vimahi: 3
Jakob James: Special teams only

Simmons, Jackson, Hinzman, Jones and Fryar played all of the snaps with the first-team offensive line for the sixth game in a row to begin the season. All five of them played every snap until Ohio State’s final possession of the game, when they were replaced by the second-team offensive line of Michalski, Tshabola, Cutler, Vimahi and Montgomery.

Montgomery also joined the first-team offensive line on the field as a sixth offensive lineman for one 2nd-and-goal play in the first half. The play resulted in an incomplete pass, though Montgomery pancake-blocked a defender on the play.

Bill DeMora, a state senator from Columbus, told the Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he plans to introduce legislation that would prevent public colleges and universities in Ohio from airing sporting events exclusively on paid streaming services.

DeMora told the Dispatch that he believes publicly funded universities like Ohio State should be required to provide a local viewing alternative when games air on paid streaming services.

"I've heard from a lot of folks that are pissed off that the local bar doesn't have the game or they have to spend X amount of money to buy one football game on this Peacock network so they can watch Ohio State," DeMora said.

Oho State Senator Bill DeMore (D-District 25) is reintroducing the legislation.


PEACOCK IS POPPYCOCK! An Ohio lawmaker has had enough of Peacock!

This week, Ohio Sen. Bill DeMora has made another attempt to ban Ohio State football games from airing on NBC's streaming platform. DeMora's legislation, Senate Bill 94, would prevent state universities from signing media deals allowing for streaming exclusive games in the future. It would also seek to have universities grant students free access to games.
To the extent permitted by federal law, no state university shall enter into or renew a contract under which the media rights to broadcast a university athletic event are granted exclusively to a streaming service. This division applies only to contracts entered into or renewed on or after the effective date of this section.
Each state university shall provide enrolled students, at no cost to the students, with access to observe any university athletic events that are broadcast in accordance with a contract entered into or renewed in accordance with division of this section. Each state university shall determine the manner in which such access is provided to students.
According to NBC4 in Columbus, this is at least the second time DeMora has introduced legislation to ban streaming games. His desire to create the bill came because he was frustrated having to watch Ohio State face Purdue (2023) and Michigan State (2024) on Peacock.

“It was the first time in over 20 years that I couldn’t watch an Ohio State football game on a regular channel,” DeMora said. “I refuse to pay all these streaming networks to watch Ohio State and other sports. … Streaming television is not good for sports.”

While I agree with DeMora that streaming television is not good for sports, his chance to keep Ohio State off Peacock ended the moment Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti signed his name on a billion-dollar contract between the conference and its media partners FOX, CBS and NBC.

As a result of that contract, the Buckeyes will be back on the streaming service this fall, and the fall after that, and the fall after that, and the fall after that...

It stinks, but it's like Don Draper said in Mad Men: "That's what the money is for!"
