Ohio State numbers dump
Some numbers, stats and records to consider leading up to Ohio State’s meeting with Michigan on Saturday …
Jim Tressel is 82-18 in his first 100 games as Ohio State’s head coach. That’s good for a 81.9 percent winning clip.
The Buckeyes have a 49-6 home record in Tressel’s tenure.
This is the 105th meeting between Ohio State and Michigan. The Wolverines lead the series 57-41-6.
Ohio State, though, leads the series 29-26-2 since 1951.
Just 18 teams nationally have at least nine wins so far this season. Ohio State is 9-2.
Three of the five biggest crowds in Ohio Stadium history have arrived for the Michigan game. They are No. 5 (105,456 in 2004), No. 4 (105,539 in 2002) and No. 2 (105,708 in 2006) on the list. The other two biggest crowds came for the Buckeyes’ 2005 game against Texas (No. 3 on the list, 105,565) and this season’s matchup with Penn State (No. 1, 105,711).
The 28-member Ohio State senior class has a record of 42-7. The school record for wins by a senior class is 43, set by the groups from 1995-98 and 2002-05.
Running back Beanie Wells enters the game with 3,142 career yards, which ranks fifth on Ohio State’s career list. Ahead of him: No. 4 Keith Byars (3,200), No. 3 Tim Spencer (3,553), No. 2 Eddie George (3,768), No. 1 Archie Griffin (5,589).
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor has accounted for 16 of Ohio State’s 30 offensive touchdowns this season passing and rushing.
Some current Buckeyes’ career stats against Michigan: Chris Wells (44 rushes, 278 yards, 6.3 yards per carry, 2 touchdowns). Brian Robiskie (9 catches, 110 yards, 1 touchdown). James Laurinaitis (16 tackles).
In last season’s dismal offensive game, Michigan gained just 15 yards rushing on 24 attempts and 91 yards overall.
