A LOOK AT TULSATulsa, a member of the American Athletic Confer-ence, is 1-0 on the season after its 45-10 win over San Jose State last Saturday. The Golden Hurricane scored on its first offensive possession and then scored 38 unanswered points on their way to the season-opening victory. Junior RB D’Angelo Brewer rushed for a career-high 164 yards and three TDs on 22 carries to lead the Golden Hurricane, which gained 305 yards on the ground. Senior QB Dane Evans completed 12-of-23 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown, as TU (1-0) totaled 512 yards of offense. Tulsa’s defense held SJSU to 287 total yards and forced three turnovers, including an INT for a touch-down and a fumble recovered in the end zone. Tulsa allowed just 53 yards rushing – its fewest allowed in a game since 2012. Tulsa was 6-7 last season in its first year under head coach Philip Montgomery, falling to Virginia Tech in the Independence Bowl. Montgomery came to Tulsa after spending the previous 9 years at Bay-lor, including the last three as offensive coordinator. MEYER IN FIRST-TIME COACHING MATCHUPSTulsa head coach Philip Montgomery will represent the 106th different coach that Urban Meyer will gameplan against in his head coaching career. Meyer is 90-15 in first-time coaching matchups, including 1-0 this season.

LIVIN’ ON TULSA TIMEFormer Ohio State head coach John Cooper was head coach at Tulsa for eight seasons between 1977-84. During this time he guided the Golden Hur-ricane to five Missouri Valley Conference champion-ships and to a record of 56-32. He would move on and coach Arizona State and Ohio State. He had a combined record of 192-84-6 as a head coach at those three schools and, for these efforts and those as a player, Cooper has been inducted into five Halls of Fame: the College Football Hall of Fame (in 2008), the Greater Knoxville Hall of Fame (2010), the Uni-versity of Tulsa Hall of Fame (2011), the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame (2012), the Ohio State University Sports Hall of Fame (2013) and the Iowa State University Athletics Hall of Fame (2014).

BARRETT SETS TD RESPONSIBLE FOR RECORDJ.T. Barrett accounted for an Ohio State school-record seven touchdowns Saturday in the win over Bowling Green with six touchdowns passing and another running. The total broke the mark of six that he shared with Kenny Guiton (2013 at Cal) and Tony Curcillo (1951 vs. Iowa). The six touchdown passes tied the school mark that he holds with Guiton. Bar-rett threw for a personal-best 349 yards and rushed for 30 yards for 379 total offensive yards versus the Falcons and extended his own school-record for 300-yard total offense games to 12. He directed the Buckeyes to a school-record 776 yards of offense with 417 passing yards and 359 rushing.

HOOKER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAMESophomore Malik Hooker, making his first start for the Buckeyes, intercepted two passes, including a spectacular tip-and-catch interception, and earned the team’s defensive player of the game award. Hooker ranged from the center of the field to the right sideline and leaped to tip a James Knapke pass with his right hand and grab it with his left as he was falling onto his back. He had another intercep-tion later in the game that he returned 44 yards. He tied for the team lead in both solo tackles (four) and total tackles (four).

Defensive champions vs. BGSU: SAF Malik Hooker, DE Jalyn Holmes, CB Gareon Conley, LB Chris Worley and LB Joe Burger.

DURBIN HONORED IN FIRST-EVER GAMEWalk-on senior Tyler Durbin, playing in his first football game ever at any level, hit all 11 of his extra point attempts, kept all 12 of his kickoffs in bounds and with six touchbacks, and made three solo tack-les on kickoff coverage to earn the team’s special team’s player of the game award vs. BGSU. Durbin walked-on to the team in 2015 and didn’t even get a “live” field goal attempt on the practice field until this fall. He played soccer for two seasons at James Madison before transferring to Ohio State. He mar-ried Kristin Reitzel, from Dayton, Ohio, on July 23.

Scout team player of the week vs. BGSU: Ke’Von Huguely, a sophomore running back from Dayton and Meadowdale H.S.

BARRETT NAMED BIG TEN POWJunior quarterback J.T. Barrett was named the Big Ten Conference’s offensive player of the week after his 349-yard and six touchdowns passing day against Bowling Green. This was Barrett’s fifth offensive weekly award from the Big Ten and, coupled with seven freshman of the week awards in 2014, gives him 12 weekly honors from the Big Ten.

SAMUELS, BARRETT TEAM OFFENSIVE POWCurtis Samuels and J.T. Barrett were named the team’s co-offensive players of the week. Samuels complemented Barrett’s huge day by catching nine of his passes for 177 yards and two scores. He also gained 84 yards rushing and scored a touchdown for a 261-yard all-purpose day, which ranks 13th in school history. Samuel’s 177 receiving yards rank 11th in Ohio State history and are the most in 12 years, or since Santonio Holmes had 224 receiving yards in 2004 vs. Marshall.

Offensive champions vs. BGSU: QB J.T. Barrett, H-Back Curtis Samuel, RB Mike Weber, WR Terry McClaurin, WR K.J. Hill and C Pat Elflein.

A GLANCE AT THE BUCKEYESFifth-year head coach Urban Meyer has his young Buckeye squad off to a blazing start after scoring 77 points, putting up a school-record 776 yards of total offense while allowing zero offensive touchdowns in the 77-10 win over Bowling Green last Saturday. Junior QB J.T. Barrett was in midseason form, tossing a career-high six TD passes to four different receivers -- Curtis Samuel (2), Dontre Wilson (2), Noah Brown and K.J. Hill -- while throwing for a career-high 349 yards. He also rushed for a score to set an Ohio State record with seven TDs accounted for. Junior H-B Curtis Samuel had himself a day with 261 total yards and three TDs on 84 yards rushing and a career-high 177 yards through the air, including a 79-yard slant pattern for a TD in the first quarter. Redshirt freshman RB Mike Weber, playing in his first career game as a Buckeye, rushed for 136 yards on 19 carries, becoming the first freshman RB

since Ezekiel Elliott in 2013 to rush for 100 yards in a game. Senior WR/HB Dontre Wilson scored two TDs on the afternoon, the first on a 25-yard strike from Bar-rett in the first quarter before adding a second score, an 11-yard pass in the third quarter. Sophomore WR Noah Brown and redshirt fresh-man WR K.J. Hill also snagged their first career TD passes from Barrett. Hill’s was the first TD of the 2016 season when Barrett found him streaking down the left side for a 47-yard score. Brown’s came later in the second quarter on a nice leaping grab along the edge of the end zone, a 25-yarder, to give Ohio State a 28-10 lead. Freshman Demario McCall also added not one, but two scores on the day. He rushed for 54 yards and a score on eight carries and caught a 36-yard score from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. Defensively, Ohio State didn’t allow a touchdown in the win. Ohio State shut down the defending MAC champions, holding the Falcons to a mere 244 yards of total offense, including 173 through three quarters and just 12 yards in the third quarter alone. Sophomore safety Malik Hooker led the Buckeyes on defense with two INTs, the first Buckeye to have two in a game since Doran Grant in the 2014 B1G championship game. Later in the game, fresh-man Rodjay Burns returned an INT 75 yards for a touchdown to cap off the scoring. In all, 28 different Buckeyes recorded tackles, totaling 2.0 sacks and 5.0 TFL. Sophmore corner Marshon Lattimore led the team with two PBUs.

26 FRESHMEN PLAY IN OPENERA total of 26 scholarship freshmen played in the season opener against Bowling Green. The number includes 17 freshmen who red-shirted the 2015 sea-son and an additional nine true freshmen from the class of 2016. (Note: participation numbers unofficial at this time.)

2016 opponents in Bold

GROUND SUPERIORITYThe Buckeyes have featured one of the most dominant rushing attacks in the country since Coach Meyer’s arrival and most notably since the start of 2013, averaging 275.2 yards per game on the ground, second best among Power 5 conference schools. Ohio State’s 6.1 yards per rush during that time frame is tops on among FBS schools.

Team Rushing 2013-Present (Power 5 Teams)1. Georgia Tech 296.9 ypg2. Ohio State 275.23. Baylor 267.54. Oregon 261.05. Auburn 257.5

RUSHING TDS IN 53 OF 55 GAMESOhio State’s rushing game had produced a touch-down in 26 consecutive games until the streak was snapped Sept. 19, 2015 vs. NIU. Ohio State has now scored a rushing TD in 53 of 55 games coached by Urban Meyer. The only other game Ohio State did not scored a rushing touchdown under Meyer: the 2013 Wisconsin game when Brax-ton Miller threw four touchdown passes in the 31-24 win.

THE PLAN IS TO WIN ...Ohio State has better than a 90-percent winning rate under Urban Meyer. Since the start of the 2012 season when Coach Meyer arrived, Ohio State has won 92.7 percent of its games, tops among all FBS schools.

... AND SCORE! Since Coach Meyer’s arrival in 2012, Ohio State’s offense has been one of the most potent in the country. The Buckeyes are one of just four FBS teams to average at least 40 points per game since the start of the 2012 season and are one of only three Power 5 teams to average at least 40 points since the start of 2013.

BUCKEYES SET CONFERENCE WIN STREAKOhio State had won 30 Big Ten regular season games in a row, a consecutive-win streak that set a new current conference landscape record. The unprec-edented steak came to an end Nov. 21, 2015 with the 17-14 loss to Michigan State. Ohio State broke the previous streak of 29 consecutive wins in the ACC by Florida State from 1992-95. By finishing 8-0 in conference play in 2014, Ohio State became the first Big Ten team since the Minnesota teams from 1933-35 to go undefeated in regular-season conference play three consecutive years. The Buckeyes also became the first Big Ten team to win every game (undefeated and untied) in Big Ten regular season games three consecutive years.

12 BUCKEYES SELECTED IN 2016 NFL DRAFTThe 2016 NFL Draft was a marquee event for Ohio State football – in terms of quality and quantity – as 11 of the first 102 picks were Buckeyes, including five in the first round, and all nine position groups represented with at least one player selected. The final tally from the encore day of the draft, held at the Auditorium Theater in downtown Chicago: two more Buckeyes were chosen in Rounds 4-7 giving Ohio State 12 total draft picks to lead all programs nationally. Ohio State’s 12 draft picks missed the NFL Draft record of 14 from one school, set in 2004 by Ohio State. This is the fifth time Ohio State has had at least 10 players selected in a draft with 13 play-ers selected in both 1971 and 1975, and 11 in 1976. The Ohio State program ranks third nationally with 428 NFL draft picks all-time.

OHIO STATE: AP NO. 1 PROGRAMThe Associated Press, which publishes the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season, ranked the nation’s top college football programs for the first time and Ohio State ranks as the No. 1 program all-time over the past 80 years. The ranking was based on total poll appearances, number of times ranked No. 1 and AP national championships. Ohio State has been ranked in the AP Top 25 poll more than any other school and the Buckeyes also have the most weeks ranked as the No. 1 school in the nation: 105. Ohio State has appeared in the AP poll for 78 of the 81 years it has been determined to rank No. 1 in that category as well. On top of those impressive statistics are five AP national championships: in 1942, 1954, 1968, 2002 and two years ago in 2014 when Ohio State won the first-ever College Football Playoff and also was awarded the AP national title and the USA Today Coaches’ Poll national crown. Additionally, Ohio State last season became the first team in AP preseason poll history (dating to 1950) to be the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation in the preseason. The Buckeyes received all 61 first-place votes from the media members who comprise the AP pollsters.

SEVEN TO CAPTAIN THE BUCKEYES IN 2016Soon after the Fiesta Bowl Ohio State coach Urban Meyer named junior quarterback J.T. Barrett, senior center Pat Elflein and junior linebacker Raekwon McMillan as team captains for the 2016 season. Last Friday (Aug. 26), he added to this year’s leader-ship corps by announcing four more individuals, who were chosen by team vote, to captain the team. Those four are senior linebacker Joe Burger, junior cornerback Gareon Conley, junior defensive end Tyquan Lewis and junior offensive guard Billy Price.

MEYER 44-3 WITH MORE THAN A WEEK TO PREPARECoach Urban Meyer is 44-3 in games in which he has more than one week to prepare for an opponent. This figure includes season openers, games after an “off” week and post-season games.

MEYER 15-0 IN SEASON OPENERSHead coach Urban Meyer is 15-0 all-time in his head coaching career in season openers with an average margin of victory of 31.0 points. This season Meyer and the Buckeyes defeated Bowling Green, 77-10, in week 1.

OHIO STADIUM NO BAG POLICYBags larger than 5x8x1-inches will no longer be per-mitted in Ohio Stadium as The Ohio State University implements a “no bag” policy at the 104,944-seat venue. Note: The 5x8x1-inch size is an 8.5x11-inch piece of paper folded in half. The policy will result in an increased level of security and improve the game experience for fans. There will be one exception to the policy with regard to the size of handbags:• Guests with medical or childcare needs will

be permitted to carry one bag, no larger than 14x14x4-inches, into the stadium through one of these locations: the Band Center entrance between Gates 10 and 12 or the Press Entrance between the Huntington Club and Gate 23.

• While similar bag policies have worked well with few issues at select stadiums around the Big Ten Conference, fans will still be encouraged to arrive at the stadium early. Gates open two hours prior to kickoff. All items and persons entering Ohio Stadium are subject to inspection.

Ohio Stadium is one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of sports. Built in 1922 at a cost of $1.3 million and refurbished in 2001 for slightly more than $194 million, the horseshoe-shaped stadium is a monument to college football. As part of the renovation, the once portable South Stands became a permanent fixture.

Ohio Stadium is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Anyone who has seen a game in the giant horseshoe understands why. There are few experiences in athletics that are more enjoyable!

Urban Meyer is 51-4 in his fifth season as head coach at The Ohio State University. His 50-4 record entering the season represented a record number of wins for a four-year run at the Football Bowl Subdivision level, with Boise State (2008-11) and Alabama (2013-16) having also achieved that milestone record along with Ohio State. Meyer’s 2015 Buckeye senior class was the first Power 5 school to achieve the 50-win mark. His four-plus seasons at Ohio State, on top of an equally impressive 10-year run as head coach at three previous schools, have allowed Meyer to build a resume that has him positioned among the best collegiate coaches ever. He has the highest winning percentage – .851 – among those with at least 10 years of coaching experience at a four-year college, and he has the sixth-highest winning percentage all-time among all coaches – regardless of division – with at least 10 years of experience at a four-year school. Meyer’s teams are 155-27 in his 14 seasons as head coach with three national championships and an 11-victory per year pace that, if it continues, will position him with the most victories as an FBS head coach after his first 15 seasons and allow him to reach 200 victories faster than any other coach. Meyer’s achievements and winning ways are impressive and also consistent. Consider:

• In leading Ohio State to the 2014 College Football Playoff national championship for his third national title – he won titles in 2006 and 2008 at Florida – Meyer became part of an elite group of two coaches to win national titles at two different schools since 1936 when the Associated Press began using their poll of sportswriters and broadcasters;

• He is the only coach to win national championships in two different conferences; • He is the first coach in modern history – since 1937 when the NCAA began

keeping records – to win at least 13 games in consecutive years (in 2008 and 2009), three times (2006-08-09) and four times (2006-08-09 at Florida and 2014 at Ohio State);

• He is second in the history of major college football with four 13-plus win seasons (tied with Nick Saban and Penn’s George Woodruff), trailing only Walter Camp’s five from 1888-92;

• Meyer is the only coach in major college history to have four different winning streaks of at least 20 games (20 with Utah/Florida; 22 at Florida; 25 with Florida and Ohio State; and 23 at Ohio State). Only eight other coaches have had even two winning streaks of at least 20 games;

• Meyer won more games his first 10 years – 104 – than all but two coaches in college football history (Penn’s George Woodruff won 124 games between 1892-1901; Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops won 109 between 1999-2008); and
