Ohio State played

Columbus - The crowd was announced as 81,112 on a misty, overcast day at Ohio Stadium, although there appeared to be far, far fewer in attendance.

Smith scored shortly after a penalty had wiped away quarterback Braxton Miller's second interception of the game.

Kenny Guiton, calling signals for the Gray, had given his team its first lead late in the third quarter on a 4-yard run. But Bryant intercepted Guiton to thwart Gray's final threat.
