Sit up Ohio State football fans because it’s another Scarlet and Gray game day. The Buckeyes return home after a couple of journeys on the road to host a Michigan State team that has had a difficult 2023 campaign. The Spartans finally got their first Big Ten win of the year last week against Nebraska to end a six-game slide.
But this week is a different animal. Michigan State must try to bottle up that momentum and put up a fight against the No. 1 ranked team in the College Football Playoff rankings — at its place. OSU hasn’t had the dynamic offenses it has in year’s past, but the defense has been one of the best in all of college football.
We like to provide a lot of analysis and commentary leading up to each game for the Buckeyes and it’s time for our writers to put it on the line again for this week’s game.
Here is what each of our five writers predict for the game between Ohio State and Michigan State on Saturday night.
