Five Keys to Ohio State beating Michigan State

Ohio State is ready to travel to East Lansing to take on Michigan State. Here are five keys to victory.

Master Teague needs to be utilized and not forgotten

Ohio State should pull away in this game fairly early, and turning the ball to Master Teague could come sooner than later. However, with the possibility of short fields, allowing Teague to grind out some of the tougher yards should help Fields capitalize in the air.

As the game winds down, Teague should be able to move the chains enough to help keep the game out of reach. If the running game lags a little, Johnson has to remember not to give up on it. Keeping Teague involved seems to help the team in all areas because of the balance it provides.
