The Series

This will be the third game in this series, with Ohio State winning the first two games in 2002 (51-17) and 2007 (48-3).

In 2007 Ohio State scored once in the first quarter, and then four times in the second half. One of those touchdowns was a record setting 90 yard punt return by Brian Hartline. Another one of the touchdowns was a 70 yard returned interception by Donald Washington. Most of the starters were pulled in the second half, but under the direction of Rob Schoenhoft OSU had one more touchdown and two field goals, including a 49-yard kick by Ryan Pretorius. Unfortunately OSU missed another chance at a shutout, when Kent State scored in the last three minutes. Both quarterbacks had great numbers, with Todd Boeckman going 13 of 16 and Schoenhoft going 7 of 9. Beanie Wells only had four carries for 17 yards and one touchdown. Leading in rushing for OSU was true freshman Brandon Saine with 69 yards.
