Three bold predictions for Ohio State football vs. Western Michigan

The Ohio State football team played pretty well against Akron, They won the game 52-6 in a game that really turned in the second half. That's when the Buckeyes got their offense in gear and started executing the way that they thought they'd be executing to start the game.

Ohio State now takes on Western Michigan in Week 2. It's the second straight Big Ten opponent for Western Michigan. Last week, they almost pulled off an upset against Wisconsin. They will be looking to pull off that upset against the Ohio State Buckeyes, something Ryan Day is looking to prevent.

While this isn't a game that the Buckeyes should expect to be competitive, there are still some things they want to work on. Day mentioned that he wants the team to start faster on offense. They want to dominate the whole game. They have the talent to do it.

As we do every week, we give you some bold predictions for this Ohio State football game. All of them are reachable for the team and they would be really nice to get. The first of them has to do with how quickly the offense starts this week.

1. The Ohio State football team scores on their first three possessions

In Week 1, the Buckeyes only scored seven points in their first three drives. Considering Akron is as bad of a team as they are, this was a surprise. Ohio State was hoping to start the season off with a bang. Instead, they were stopped by the Zips with more ease than expected.

This week, I think the Buckeyes are able to remedy that. Day has made it known that he is focusing on the offense starting faster this week and dominating the entire game. Will Howard will be in his second game leading Ohio State's offense. He knows what to expect now.

I also expect the offensive line to be better in the running game than they were last week too. It was concerning how poorly they performed, but I think the Buckeyes will run it better. If they don't then Justin Frye might be let go in the middle of the season. That's how poorly he's performed as a coach.

The Buckeyes will score points on their first three possessions on Saturday night. I think They get two touchdowns and a field goal and will be up 17-0 relatively quickly. This is a much more talented team than the Badger team that the Broncos faced last week.

The second bold prediction has to deal with the defensive side of the ball for the Buckeyes.
