Welcome to Week 4 of college football. Ohio State was able to get back on the winning track last week against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. To say the performance was lackluster, with the exception of a few, would be an understatement. But a win’s a win, right? Not so much for Buckeye Nation.
The standard for Ohio State football is a high one. Fans have become spoiled with the level of play over the past 20 years. We’re just not used to seeing this level of incompetency from our Buckeyes.
Now Akron comes to town for a showdown under the lights. The Zips are not good folks and the oddsmakers know it favoring the Bucks by almost 50 even with Ohio State’s inconsistent play. But maybe Akron is just what this team needs to build its confidence as they prepare for a much improved Big Ten slate.
