Peter:

Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) faces off against Michigan State (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten), who hopes to spoil what has been an almost perfect season for the Buckeyes.

Led by Brian Lewerke and a stingy defense, the Spartans could hang around with the Buckeyes longer than anyone else has this season.

However, Jeffrey Okudah and the rest of the secondary will limit Lewerke while Baron Browning and others will feed off a running game that has struggled at time for the Spartans.

Justin Fields and J.K. Dobbins have the firepower to expose the Michigan State defense and will lead the way to a comfortable but hard-fought win for the Scarlet and Gray.
