Legend Bey - Question mark for Iowa game Bey (ankle) is questionable to play in Ohio State's clash with Iowa on Saturday, per Dan Hope of ElevenWarriors.com.

Impact The tailback has battled an ankle issue in the early part of the 2026 campaign for the Buckeyes. He was technically available for Week 4 as he was absent from the injury report, although he didn't see the field. Bey will look to return for a big showdown with Iowa, but head coach Ryan Day says his availability depends on how he looks in practice.

2026 College Football Rankings: Texas Slips After 'Sloppy' Performance

Jeremiah Smith - Ties team record with four touchdowns Smith recorded 12 receptions (on 16 targets) for 217 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 42-19 victory against Illinois.

Impact Smith's Ohio State record-tying four-touchdown performance went along with a career-high 12 catches for 217 yards, adding to a Heisman campaign that's looking brighter every week. He leads the FBS with 617 recieving yards and is tied with Collin Dixon and KJ Duff atop the ladder with seven touchdowns.

Bo Jackson - Modest output in blowout Jackson totaled 11 rushes for 53 yards and reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 42-19 victory over Illinois.

Impact Jackson shared running back duties evenly with Ja'Kobi Jackson last week against Illinois, but Bo Jackson is usually the first man up in Ohio State's backfield. He will face a stern test next week against an Iowa defense that is strong against the run.

Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's 2026 College Football Top 10 — Week 5

Ja'Kobi Jackson - Finds end zone in decisive win Jackson had 10 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-19 victory versus Illinois.

Impact The impending margin of victory gave both Jacksons ample opportunities in the backfield, as Jackson logged a total similar to teammate Bo Jackson in the blowout. The Florida transfer has logged 206 yards and five touchdowns this season and is a perfect change-of-pace option for the Buckeyes.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Julian Sayin - Logs season-best passing performance Sayin was 27-for-36 passing for 367 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 42-19 win over Illinois. He also had seven rushes for 29 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Sayin shines with season highs in passing yards (367) and touchdowns (4) in a decisive beatdown over Illinois. Sayin has the luxury of throwing to Jeremiah Smith, who built on his resume with all four of Sayin's touchdown passes. The opposing defense tightens up next week against Iowa, but Sayin's connection to Smith is proving to be matchup-proof.
