Julian Sayin was dominant yet again for Ohio State against Illinois on Saturday. He went 19 of 27 passing for 166 yards and two touchdown passes.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown. Buckeyes running back CJ Donaldson had 13 carries for 44 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

The Ohio State defense had three turnovers in the game, demonstrating why they are one of the best defenses in the country.
