This weekend is a huge one, and not just for the on-field results with Oregon coming to town. With the Ducks being easily one of the better opponents the Buckeyes will face this season, a lot is on the line for Ohio State. Early playoff implications are surely a factor, but with two extra days to prepare thanks to opening on a Thursday, it’s probably safe to assume the Buckeyes will look even better this weekend as opposed to the season opener against Minnesota. In addition, this game has been circled by the staff for some time now, so an extra wrinkle or two may make a debut come Saturday at noon.
