David: “Listen, I graduated from UC and am one of those weird people who root for both the Bearcats and the Buckeyes so I know these teams pretty well.

UC has some weapons on offense that Ohio State needs to watch out for. Michael Warren is a beast of a running back and could be one of the best backs the Buckeyes face this year. Josiah Deguara is a really talented tight end that UC tries to use similar to the way they used Travis Kelce back in the day.

Desmond Ridder is a solid quarterback that can hurt you in the air and on the ground and doesn’t turn the ball over too often.

With this, I think that UC keeps this one close for the first half – kind of like they did when these teams played in 2014 when Ezekiel Elliott ended up having his coming out party.

However, Ohio State just has too many weapons and while UC’s defense is good, their star safety James Wiggins tore his ACL which means they don’t have that guy who can be the last line of defense to keep the Buckeyes out of the end zone.

Ohio state wins 42-30.”
