Three bold predictions for Ohio State football vs. Michigan State
By Ryan Stano
2. The Ohio State football team will force at least two turnovers
There was a lot of talk about the low sack totals through the first few games for the Buckeyes. They only had one sack against Marshall. Day isn't too concerned with sack totals. He's more concerned with winning games and keeping the opponent off the scoreboard.
Ohio State is facing a quarterback in Aidan Chiles who is a turnover machine. Through four games this year, he already has seven interceptions. That's not going to make Spartans fans believe that he can take care of the ball against what could be the best defense in the country.
I believe that the Ohio State Buckeyes will be able to force at least two turnovers in this game. Chiles should throw at least one interception. He might even through two. He could also fumble the ball. All I know is that Chiles is someone who is liable to turn the ball over and the Buckeyes can capitalize on that.
Turning the ball over would be a death-blow for Michigan State. They aren't good enough to be able to win this game if they turn the ball over multiple times. As we've already state, Michigan State's defense likely isn't good enough to stop Ohio State's offense. Giving them more help by turning the ball over would be bad.
Ohio State forced three turnovers in the opener against Akron. They didn't force any against Western Michigan. Last week, they once again weren't able to take the ball away. I think they break that slump this week by getting multiple turnovers.
The final bold prediction has to do with how well those Ohio State running backs will do.
