(Buckeyes 73–20) Illinois The Ohio State Buckeyes began their Big Ten schedule with their first road game of the year, against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Illinois began the scoring with a quarterback run by Nathan Scheelhaase. Ohio State answered with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Terrelle Pryor to Brandon Saine, and the teams were tied at 7 after the first quarter. In the second, Derek Dimke hit a 27-yard field goal for the Fighting Illini to give them a 10–7 lead, but Ohio State came back with a touchdown reception by Dane Sanzenbacher. Pryor was briefly knocked from the game with a leg injury, and though he returned, he was limited for the rest of the game. Illinois closed the gap to four points, but Ohio State clinched the win with a touchdown run by Dan Herron late in the fourth quarter, and defeated Illinois 24–13 (victory vacated), retaining the Illibuck trophy. 1st Quarter ILL – (8:29) Scheelhaase 3-yard run, TOUCHDOWN.
