Snap Counts: Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. - It was about as thorough and complete of a win that a team could hope for on the road, at night, in front of a hostile environment. The Buckeyes went to Nebraska and pushed around the home team to the tune of 48-7 in front of a national television audience and now creates quite the conversation about just where this team should be ranked in terms of the top teams int he nation.

While that debate will rage on, we are taking a look back at the most recent game and updating the snap counts with the help of statistical data provided by PFF.com.

With a smaller travel roster and the need to carry starters deeper into the game, the number of players who played is down but what does it do to the number of snaps?

The Buckeyes kept Justin Fields in for much of the game and he saw 67 of the 76 offensive snaps as Chris Chugunov entered the game in the 4th quarter when it was all over but the crying for the home team.

Dobbins saw a whopping 51 snaps in the game en route to nearly 180 yards on the ground for the Buckeyes. Master Teague saw most of the other snaps and he had a nice night of his own with a couple of touchdowns on the ground. Marcus Crowley burned his redshirt as he entered for late action while Steele Chambers saw action on special teams and is not listed on this chart.

Things were pretty spread out here with Bin Victor and KJ Hill seeing the most plays at just slightly over 40 apiece. The Buckeyes just proved once again that they can bring in wave after wave of fresh guys and there is really no drop off with so many talented pass-catchers. All four tight ends played and the numbers were split pretty well with Luke Farrell seeing the most plays at 33 but don't sleep on the energy that Rashod Berry brought early in the game.

Josh Alabi stepped in for Branden Bowen and led all the Buckeyes with 70 snaps played while the rest of the starting line was in at 67. The backup line saw nine snaps of their own. The depth of this line is a critical piece moving forward as the status of Branden Bowen will likely be a closely monitored thing the rest of the way.

Larry Johnson loves to roll players in-and-out of the lineup and that did not change in this one as 11 players recorded double-digit snaps with Jonathon Cooper seeing his first action of the season and BB Landers coming back to the lineup. True Freshman Zach Harrison is not just getting token minutes as a first-year player, he was right there with 24 snaps for the Bucks.

The biggest thing that jumps off the chart here is that Baron Browning had more snaps than Tuf Borland, a lot of that coming with Ohio State's needing to spy Taylor Martinez early in the game and Browning's ability to run being put on full display. Malik Harrison was the workhorse of the group with 39 snaps.

Jordan Fuller played well into the late drives of the game and sits at 49 snaps while Okudah, Arnette and Wade all were well into the 30s. The Buckeyes were able to get some big road experience for some younger players but it should be no shock that the lion's share of the snaps went to the four starters.
