Each of the nine punts were crucial to Ohio State’s comeback and also earned Chrisman last week’s Ray Guy Award, reports www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com.  

Four of Chrisman's punts were dropped inside Penn State’s 20-yard line, and the Nittany Lions average starting position after Chrisman punts was at their own 18-yard line. Chrisman finished the game with a 47.9-yard average, which happens to be a career best.
