Bauserman also ran six times for 32 yards including a 15-yard touchdown run. All three of his passing touchdowns went to the tight end Jake Stoneburner. After struggling against the Miami Hurricanes, he was benched and Braxton Miller became the starter for the rest of the season. Miller then fell victim to injury in the game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Bauserman came in with Ohio State leading 27–13 in the third quarter.
