In a highly anticipated matchup, the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-1) will face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-2) on Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes, coming off a tough loss to Oregon, will be looking to bounce back and continue their dominance over Nebraska, having won their last seven meetings. Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom and Nebraska running back Rahmir Johnson are notable players listed as out for the game.
The Buckeyes are heavily favored, with a 25.5-point spread in their favor and an over/under of 48.5 points. Ohio State quarterback Will Howard leads a potent offensive attack, with support from top wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka. Meanwhile, Nebraska, despite a recent blowout loss to Indiana, has shown promise this season with freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola and running back Dante Dowdell.
