Five reasons Ohio State takes care of business vs. Toledo on Saturday

We give you five reasons why Ohio State will take care of business against Toledo on Saturday night. #GoBucks

It’s time for another scarlet and gray Saturday and it’s a game Ohio State is not expected to win handily. Results don’t happen on paper however, and the two teams have to step off the bus and play a real, live American football game.

All of that being said, the Buckeyes should still take care of business against an in-state MAC opponent when Toledo runs out of the tunnel in the grand ‘ole Horseshoe for a Saturday night affair.

We’re confident Ohio State won’t have too much of a problem with the Rockets and we are here to give you five reasons OSU will more than take care of buisness when all is said and done before you lay your head on the pillow tonight.

Here we go with Game 3 of the Ohio State football season. Even though this one is against an in-state MAC team, Toledo, it could still turn into a game if the Buckeyes don’t come out of the game motivated and focused.

It goes without saying that OSU has to win this one if it still has designs of being in the hunt for a College Football Playoff berth.

Each week we toss out the opportunity for our writers to predict what will happen in the game and so far, we’ve been pretty good. Since it’s time to get all lathered up for the game, it’s time to throw it out for a prediction again, and here’s what Phil, Mark, and Josh have to say about the night game vs. the Rockets.

The Ohio State football team is preparing for its third step in the 2022 college football season, and this time it’s against an in-state opponent, the Toledo Rockets. And hey! it’s a night game, so that’s always fun.

This one isn’t expected to be much of a contest based on the odds released by our friends at Tipico, but the Buckeyes will still need to find a way to get motivated, put their foot on the gas early, and put this one away. After all, we’ve already seen teams this season pull the upset when everyone least expected it.

Ohio State vs Toledo Game Preview

Why Toledo Will Win

The Rockets are playing well.

They’re favored to be one of the contenders in the MAC, and they’ve had two tune-up games against LIU and UMass to get ready. Granted, they were supposed to beat them by a combined score of 92-10, but there hasn’t been any sort of a blip with good offensive balance and the mistakes kept to a minimum.

QB DeQuan Finn is going to be a problem.

He needs to be a bit more accurate, but he’ll test the Ohio State defense that’s been patting itself on the back for a great start, but …

Stopping Notre Dame apparently isn’t as big a deal as everyone made it out to be.

Finn has to get going on the ground and keep the attack rolling, the defensive plays behind the line have to continue, and …

Why Ohio State Will Win

Ohio State should be able to run the ball.

The offense hasn’t kicked in like it was supposed to. Jaxon Smith-Njigba hasn’t been 100%, CJ Stroud hasn’t put up massive numbers over the first two games – he’s been fantastic, though – and again, there’s a chance the D hasn’t been tested yet.

However, the running game has been solid, TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams have been great, and it should all work against a Rocket defensive front that gave up over 200 yards to UMass.

Defensively, focus everything on Finn. Slow down Finn, make him win through the air, beat Toledo.

What’s Going To Happen

Any and all criticism of Ohio State right now is nitpicky.

The Notre Dame game was a bit of a fight, and the O isn’t the high-flying fun show we all expected over the first two games, but if this isn’t the No. 1 team in the country right now, it’s playing like a solid two.

Be careful, though. Toledo isn’t going to pull off the upset, but it’s got a decent enough starting 22 to keep this interesting if the Buckeyes are looking to conserve fuel for the Big Ten opener against Wisconsin next week.

Remember, Toledo had Notre Dame in big, big trouble last year in a 32-29 loss, the 2019 team pushed Kentucky and beat BYU, and the 2015 team stunned Arkansas. And …

Ohio State will be just fine.

Hear and watch what Toledo head coach Jason Candle had to say about Ohio State leading up to the game on Saturday. #GoBucks

Ohio State takes the next step on what it hopes is a special 2022 season when it plays host to in-state Toledo on Saturday night. It’s a weird night game, but one that fans and players are excited to play and continue to show improvement.

Another guy that’s excited about the opportunity to play in the ‘Shoe is Toledo head coach Jason Candle. He has his team sitting at 2-0 and looking to shock the world this weekend. He knows it’s a huge challenge, but not shying away from the moment.

Candle met with the local media in Toledo earlier this week to preview the matchup with the Buckeyes, and we always like to keep tabs on what the opposing coach says about Ohio State before and after the matchup.

If you too are interested, we’ve got the video of Candle’s press conference thanks to the local Toledo affiliate WTOL’s YouTube Channel. If you are interested, watch below as Candle displays respect for Ohio State, acknowledges the challenge, provides an update on what he thinks of the talent the Rockets will be facing on Saturday, and more.

Keep the yard work done and the errands taken care of during the day because the game vs. Toledo is set to kick off at night at 7 p.m. ET on Fox.
