Luke Wypler earns impressive PFF grade from win over Wisconsin

Ohio State absolutely dominated Wisconsin on Saturday night. That all started up front, and Luke Wypler was the catalyst of the Buckeyes offensive line, a unit that took care of business against a tough Wisconsin front.

Wypler earned a ProFootball Focus grade of 80.7, the highest grade for a center in the country during Week Four, topping Mike Novitsky from Kansas and Zach Frazier from West Virginia.

Wypler helped keep C.J. Stroud clean; the Buckeyes gave up no sacks for the second straight weeks. And he helped lead the way for both TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams to top the 100-yard mark on the ground.

Simply put, Wypler was impressive yet again on Saturday in the Ohio State blowout win over Wisconsin.
