Ohio State Football: Three bold predictions vs. TTUN
By Ryan Stano
1. The Ohio State Football team accumulates over 600 yards of offense
Ohio State has the most prolific offense in the country. The Buckeyes average almost 560 yards per game. That’s easily best in the country and is by far the best in the Big Ten. This is an offense that no one has been able to stop all year long.
The Buckeyes also haven’t faced a defensive line as good at TTUN’s. They do a really good job of controlling the line of scrimmage, especially in the run game. TreVeyon Henderson does a good job of running against any defense, but this one might be the hardest to go against.
600 yards of total offense isn’t that far-fetched. C.J. Stroud has been incredible so far this season and has only been better the last few weeks against good competition. That shouldn’t change in a rivalry game where every thing is magnified. He’s stepped up as the competition has stepped up.
TTUN’s defense just won’t be good enough to stop Ohio State from gaining yards and moving the ball up and down the field. The only defense that might be able to do anything against them is Georgia’s, and we could find out if that’s the case if Ohio State beats TTUN.
Expect Chris Olave to have another great game against TTUN too. They have yet to find an answer for him over his Ohio State football career. I’d be shocked if this was the year they did considering they have two other elite receivers to deal with as well.
The second of my bold predictions for this game has to deal with how well the Buckeyes perform on defense.
