Back to the Ohio State Buckeyes Newsfeed

Advanced stats: The Spartans run defense is legit. Maybe legit enough to fuel an upset.

Last week was a little disappointing. Most of us probably expected the Buckeyes to come out and win decisively after a loss and a bye week, but Nebraska got way too close to an upset instead.

Nevertheless, we saw clear changes in scheme and personnel, so there’s still room for optimism going forward. But Michigan State is a very tough opponent, with a legitimately awesome defense.

The matchup between Ohio State’s offense and Michigan State’s defense will be between two top-7 units. The matchup between the Spartans’ offense and Ohio State’s defense on the other hand, will not.
