The Ohio State football team is trying to win the first game that they play on the road this year on Saturday afternoon when they take on Michigan State in East Lansing. They know that it won’t be an easy task because of the type of environment they are walking into.

Ohio State has the deadliest offense in the Big Ten and possibly the entire country. It remains to be seen how healthy the Buckeyes will be when they come into the game, but it shouldn’t matter. They are just flat-out more talented than Michigan State is.

This is another game where the backups should get significant snaps for the Buckeyes. This will be the last game they play before the bye week, which is perfectly situated in the middle of their schedule. It should be another stress-free game for Ohio State in my opinion.

Official prediction: Ohio State football 51 Michigan State 10

I think that C.J. Stroud will play a much better game than he did against Rutgers and throw for over 300 yards. I also think that the running game will continue to be solid. I don’t think there’s any way that Michigan state can stop Ohio State’s offense no matter what they do.

Ohio State’s defense should play well throughout the entire game as well. 10 points is a lot for MSU to score, but I don’t think that Ohio State can shut them out. Denzel Burke keeps getting burned for deep touchdowns. Until that stops, this defense will keep giving up points.

This should be another low-stress affair for the Ohio State football team. I’d love to see them come out ablaze and get out to a big lead early. That way, the Buckeyes can bring in the backups and make sure that no starters get hurt.
