What Crawford Says

“Higher than you expected for the defending Big Ten champs? Early kickoffs hurt the intimidation factor often at Ohio Stadium, but this season’s home slate should clear some of that up. The home opener vs. Oregon is a huge game for both Playoff contenders and interesting bouts with Maryland and Penn State could test the Buckeyes’ top-tier defense. By that time Ohio State entertains Michigan State late, we’ll know just where the Buckeyes are in the title picture. And their fans — a hungry bunch wanting a return trip to the Playoff — will, too.”
