Gameday is almost nigh once again. We’re just two days away from Ohio State taking on in-state foe Akron, and some rather significant news dropped on Thursday has this little tune-up game looking a little more interesting.
That’s because OSU head coach Ryan Day let the world know that starting freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud will be given the game off to rest an ailing shoulder. That means either Kyle McCord or Jack Miller will get the nod against the Zips, and if they put up some big numbers, well … we won’t go there just yet.
Anyway, that’s clearly one of the main stories everyone will now be watching in this one, but we’re going to do you even better and put ourselves out there with five bold predictions for the game. These aren’t just your standard, run-of-the-mill, easily attainable ones, but one’s that will be a bit of a stretch because it’s just more fun that way.
Here are five bold predictions for Ohio State vs. Akron on Saturday.
