Ohio State has a big one on Saturday. It’s against a top fifteen opponent in the Oregon Ducks, and if the Buckeyes have designs of making another College Football Playoff appearance, winning this intersectional matchup against a quality opponent will go a long way.
But it might not be as easy as many think. Even though the Ducks looked like they were flying backward against Fresno State at times last week, you might be able to chalk a lot of that up to the byproduct of it being Week 1.
The reality is that these are two of the most athletic and skilled teams individually across the board you’ll find in the entire country. So yeah, don’t expect this one to be a Buckeye blowout.

Like we try to do before every game, we have a stream of consciousness and thoughts heading into the matchup Saturday. Some nuggets might be educational, others entertaining, and others downright senseless because that’s how my brain works.
