Ohio State showed some warts on defense against Indiana last weekend, but now it’s time for the next step on the journey towards a Big Ten Championship and potential College Football Playoff berth.
Ohio State travels to Illinois for another Big Ten matchup, and despite some rumors of a mild coronavirus outbreak at OSU, the game appears to still be on.
This is technically a rivalry game where an illibuck trophy is on the line, but let’s be real, this hasn’t been a “rivalry” for a long time. Ohio State has won nine-straight, and Illinois is still trying to compete at a consistent level.
With all that in mind, here are five reasons Ohio State beats the Illini on Saturday at Noon.
