Five numbers to know:

20 — The amount of rushing yards Illinois finished with

0-for-2 — Illinois left empty-handed during both of its trips to the end zone

0 — The amount of points Illinois scored off of Ohio State’s two turnovers

-22 — Number of yards Ohio State sacked Illinois

12 — Punt return yards

Game to remember:

Clayton Fejedelem, safety

The senior continued to build upon a strong streak games, finishing with 15 total tackles. Fejedelem limited J.T. Barrett when the quarterback was on the run.

Game to forget:

Ryan Frain, punter

The junior struggled with his punts and gave the Buckeyes good starting position for most of their drives. He punted six times and averaged 38.7 yards per kick.

Quote of the game:

Clayon Fejedelem

“We kind of shot ourselves in the foot — offensively and defensively. When you play a high caliber team like O-State, you got to be on both sides.”

Tweet of the game:

“Cubit said he’s having the time of his life #Illini head coach.”
