Tom:

Here you go.  I’ve been way off.  Hopefully I am right this week or off in a good way.

Ohio State hits the road again for its first night game of the season.  Will that impact the team’s performance, or will the Buckeyes continue to roll?

Depends on which Nebraska team shows up.  The Cornhuskers have stumbled out of the gate.  They have not looked sharp in games they should have won easily.

It is possible they were pointing to this game all along.  Scott Frost must be selling this as a milestone game in rebuilding a winning program.

A win puts Nebraska back into the national discussion.  The team will come out the tunnel ready to battle.

The only problem for the Cornhuskers is the Buckeyes are ready for this fight.  Ohio State has heard the chirping about the embarrassing losses to Iowa and Purdue over the last couple of years.  The Buckeyes won’t allow a letdown.

I expect to see an aggressive team playing fast and to its strengths. The maturity of the defense and the offensive line dominating will be the differences in this game.

Weather is supposed to be rainy, but I don’t think that will slow down Ohio State.

The Cornhuskers come out swinging, but the Buckeyes take command before half and win comfortably and win 45-24.
