The Ohio State football team will be hosting its annual in-state rivalry game this week. This year brings the Toledo Rockets to town who are off to a hot start themselves.
The Rockets hold a perfect record thus far and have outscored their opponents 92-10 in just two games. Before you think the Buckeyes will be facing a juggernaut, understand those two wins came against FCS school Long Island University and lowly UMass. Not exactly the toughest of contests.
However, if week 2 of college football is any indication of how the season is going to go, Ryan Day and company had better be ready for anything. Ohio State hasn’t lost to an in-state opponent since all the way back in 1921 when Oberlin College beat the Bucks 7-6.
It’s safe to say the game has changed greatly in the last 100-plus years, but you can bet the Rockets will come to Columbus ready to give it everything they’ve got.
