Ohio State vs. Michigan complete preview and prediction

It’s rivalry week and we’re here to give you what you need to know as the Buckeyes get ready to take on the Wolverines. #GoBucks

It’s finally here … the best week in college football. Rivalry week!

For the first time in “The Game’s” illustrious history, Ohio State and Michigan will face each other without a loss in back-to-back years.

Maybe the stakes have never been higher in what is a de facto playoff game. The winner is almost certainly in if it can get past Iowa, and the loser would need an extraordinary amount of help.

But put all of that aside for a moment. With two lopsided losses for the Buckeyes in the past two years and the allegations of cheating by the Maize and Blue, this is going to be an absolute brawl. What used to be a rivalry built on equal parts respect and hate is now heavily leaning toward the latter. And when that happens, there are bound to be fireworks.

Buckle up as we get ready for what promises to be another epic showdown in the greatest rivalry in all of sports.

Ohio State vs. Minnesota complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know for Ohio State vs. Minnesota including a prediction. #GoBucks

The football season is winding down and Ohio State is exactly where it wants to be, right in the thick of the College Football Playoff race. Undefeated at 10-0, the Buckeyes control their own destiny.

Any team will tell you they want to be playing their best at the end of the season. It seems like Ryan Day’s club is doing just that. The team has been rock solid on defense and shown steady improvement on offense, especially now that TreVeyon Henderson is back and fully healthy.

The Buckeyes have one more test before the ultimate showdown with Michigan. Ohio State welcomes Minnesota to Columbus for one last home stand before the season finale.

Time to get ready for the Buckeyes vs. the Golden Gophers with our complete preview and prediction for the game Saturday.

Welcome back to another week of Ohio State football. The Buckeyes are sitting at a perfect 9-0 heading into Week 11 of the college football season. Things weren’t pretty in the win over Rutgers, but let’s be honest, not much has been pretty for the Bucks this season. That’s okay because at the end of the day, grinding out wins and blowouts are equal in the wins column. Just win baby!

Ohio State now prepares for Michigan State, a team that has been struggling all season long from players leaving for the transfer portal to head coach Mel Tucker getting his walking papers. By the way, is there any truth to this rumor of Urban Meyer taking over in East Lansing? I can’t imagine it, but stranger things have happened.

It’s time to break out the all-gray unis and get ready for some Buckeye football!

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know to get ready for the Buckeyes vs. Wisconsin under the lights. #GoBucks

Ohio State passed major test No. 2 with a huge win over Penn State on Saturday. A dominating defensive performance put the college football world on notice that this isn’t the offense-only OSU teams of recent years. It was fun to see the Silver Bullets back.

Now on to significant test No. 3. While Wisconsin has lost a couple of games, lost its starting quarterback, and had to fight to the end for a victory over Illinois, playing a night game at Camp Randall will be no easy task. If the Buckeyes want their record to remain unblemished, they’d be wise not to look past the Badgers.

Time to get ready for Week 9 and a game under the lights in Madison! Here’s everything you need to know with our complete preview, complete with a prediction for Ohio State vs. Wisconsin on Saturday night.

Ohio State vs. Penn State complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know to get ready for the Buckeyes vs. Penn State including a prediction. #GoBucks

It’s time. Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes have their next big test scheduled for this Saturday when Penn State comes to town. The Buckeyes have gotten the better of this rivalry in recent years, but the game is almost never a blowout.

Two undefeated teams. Two marquee names. Huge conference implications on the line. Who could ask for anything more? Well, maybe a primetime start under the lights … but other than that, this one has everything.

A conference championship still runs through Michigan but the next step in that journey for both teams happens this weekend. We’re here to get you ready for what should be a clash of the titans with the winner gaining a slight advantage in the Big Ten East.

Ohio State football vs. Purdue: Complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know to get ready for the Buckeyes vs. Purdue. #GoBucks

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before … Ohio State started slowly on offense once again. The Buckeyes pulled away eventually, moving to 5-0 on the season. Maybe Maryland is really good, but it just feels like something is off with this team.

Either way, OSU remains among the ranks of the unbeaten and heads to West Lafayette to take on Purdue. The Boilermakers are in rebuilding mode after Jeff Brohm left for Louisville, and new head coach Ryan Walters is trying to establish an identity.

Ohio State has one more opportunity to get things right before Penn State comes to Columbus. But first things first. Let’s get ready for Purdue Week!

Ohio State football vs. Maryland: Complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know to get ready for the Buckeyes vs. Maryland. #GoBucks

We’re still on cloud nine after an epic comeback win over Notre Dame in South Bend. The Buckeyes showed resilience and poise and proved they are among the best teams in the nation.

However, in college football teams can’t live in the past. After a bye week, Ohio State turns its attention to Maryland. The Terps boast a high-powered offense led by senior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa.

Maryland averages more than 38 points per game and is holding opponents to an average of 13 points per contest. But Mike Lockley’s club hasn’t faced a team as good as OSU this season. Can Ohio State recover from the emotional battle against Notre Dame and hold off the upset-minded Terrapins?

Time to get ready for Maryland week!

Ohio State football vs. Western Kentucky: Complete preview and prediction

Everything you need to know to get ready for the game against Western Kentucky. #GoBucks

Two weeks into the college football season, and it still feels like there are questions that need to be answered on this Ohio State football team.

With mediocre showings against Indiana and Youngstown State, the Buckeyes have dropped in at least one of the polls in consecutive weeks.

While the quarterback debate should pretty much be a done deal, the offensive line is struggling to open holes for the running backs. One has to believe an OSU program loaded with four- and five-star recruits would’ve manhandled the Penguins. But the running lanes were narrow and most big runs came after being bounced outside.

Ohio State welcomes Western Kentucky to the Horseshoe. The Hilltoppers are no pushover and may prove a formidable opponent. Will the Buckeyes take steps in the right direction as a trip to South Bend to face Notre Dame looms? Let’s hope so as we get ready for Week 3 of college football.

Ohio State Buckeyes Preview 2022

Oh great. Now you made it mad.

As rough as last year’s 42-27 loss to Michigan might have been for Ohio State and the program’s pride, if that serves as the motivation for something bigger, go for it.

Remember what the 2020 Buckeyes did after the loss to Clemson in the 2019 season College Football Playoff?

That team wouldn’t be denied by a global pandemic, Big Ten rules, or a banged up Justin Fields when it came to the desperate need to get back to the CFP and right the perceived wrong from the previous season.

That’s going to be the 2022 version, but first, don’t just dismiss how good 2021 was.

11-2 was fantastic. It was a great season, and it was impressive in so many ways – it’s always a good season if you win the Rose Bowl.

You can say 99 nice things about someone and the only thing remembered is that one comment six months ago about how the shoes didn’t go with a certain shirt …

Or if you mention that one loss to that one team. Again, on the flip side, now Ohio State should be on even more of a mission than it normally is.

The offense wasn’t a problem in 2021. It was the best in the nation, it was breathtaking no matter who was on the field, and it’s about to be even better.

The defense wasn’t quite as bad as everyone made it out to be. It started rough and ended badly, but in the middle it was a force at times. However, the perception that the D needs to be fixed – and the problems against That Team Up North – is enough to make that happen.

If that loss helps focus things so the pass defense is sharper and the D can come up with a third down stop, perfect.

If it helps slow down all the penalties, get better in the big games against the run, and if it cranks up the intensity that much more, great.

Pressure is built into the cake, so there’s no way to add any more than what’s already there, so …

This team is good enough to roll through the schedule, rip apart Michigan, and at least get to the national championship – and no one knows that better than Ohio State.

That one extra little bit of juice might be enough to go that one extra step.
