How It’ll All Go Down
Ohio State is a reeling ball club that’s looking to notch its first win in five games to get some momentum back. Minnesota will play hard and with a lot of energy at first as it plays for its postseason life. However, OSU will be the fresher and healthier team in this one and pull away with a much better effort at the end of the game. OSU gets back in the win column and moves on to face Purdue on Friday.
Final Score
Ohio State 71, Minnesota 60
Line
Ohio State -10
