This Week: Five total tackles, four tackles for loss (two sacks), two forced fumbles

Opponent: Wisconsin

Michael Bennett paid tribute to Kosta Karageorge, his former Ohio State teammate who was found dead in Columbus last week after going missing on Thanksgiving, by wearing Karageorge’s No. 53 in Saturday night’s Big Ten Championship Game.

With a dominant performance in OSU’s 59-0 win, Bennett made sure everyone took notice of his homage to his friend.

The Wisconsin offensive line has played up to its usual standard of greatness most of the year, but it had no answer for Bennett on Saturday night.

Best known for his quickness, Bennett also put his hand skills on full display as he ripped his way off blockers into the backfield for four tackles for loss, including two on Heisman Trophy candidate running back Melvin Gordon.

Having accumulated 9.5 tackles for loss in his past five games alone, the senior defensive tackle has been dominant and re-established himself as a likely late first-round pick.
