The fear of losing a game they shouldn’t is the biggest focus for Ohio State

@ Nebraska

Scott Frost is finding himself more on the hot seat than ever before. The tradition and history of Nebraska mean this school expects at a minimum competing for Big Ten Championships, but instead they are finding themselves on the bottom of the Big Ten West. Nebraska has time this season to turn things around, however, the Cornhuskers did not look like a team that was going to give any of the power programs trouble.

Ohio State needs to be wary over the next few weeks that they don’t lose focus. Ryan Day has shown this to be a strength of his, but this will be another stretch he will need to keep his team motivated.

Purdue

The last time these two teams played, Ohio State lost the opportunity to play in the College Football Playoffs. Getting dominated by the Boilermakers was a key factor in the Buckeyes being excluded from the top four. Though the players and coaching staff will have changed, the feeling from Buckeye Nation is still very much the same.

I think Ryan Day will try to come out and make a statement against Perdue at home.
