Blake:

Ohio State got off to a fast start and never looked back in Lincoln en route to a 48-7 throttling of Nebraska. The usual suspects dominated on all fronts and I expect more of the same in this game.

I’d been having a funny feeling about playing Mark Dantonio in a big underdog role because of years past, but the Spartans will be depleted in the OL. That will be a huge advantage for Chase Young, Jonathan Cooper, and the rest of the guys up front.

This Michigan State defense, though, will be the best Ohio State and Justin Fields have seen so far this year. I think the Buckeyes have too many weapons and can beat you in too many different ways to be slowed down in this one.

I’m going to stay bold in my prediction because it worked last year in this matchup and again over the last few weeks. The Buckeyes keep rolling amidst a Blackout. Ohio State 41 Michigan State 10
