Ranking Ohio State’s 2016 Schedule and Why it is Among the Toughest

Indiana

The only team in the Big Ten besides Michigan State to give Meyer consistent trouble is Indiana.  Head coach Kevin Wilson has significantly improved the Hoosiers.  The fact that he stayed at Indiana when so many other lucrative jobs were open this offseason reflects his commitment to the program.

Sustaining the momentum from 2015 will be challenging.  The offense is losing quarterback Nate Sudfeld, running back Jordan Howard and offensive tackle Jason Spriggs.  The defense is losing most of the key players from the defensive line.

Wilson is an offensive guru.  He’ll find the replacements to score points, but the defensive issues will keep them from bowling again. The Buckeyes will win at home, but don’t be surprised if it is another high-scoring affair.
