Five Things to Know About Miami (Ohio), Ohio State's Fourth Opponent of the 2019 Season

For the first time since 2012 and the sixth time ever, Miami (Ohio) comes to Columbus this week to play the Buckeyes in what will be the fourth game of the season for both teams.

The RedHawks of Miami University have never defeated Ohio State in any of the previous five meetings between the two schools, and that’s almost certainly not going to change this year. The Buckeyes opened as 37-point favorites for Saturday’s game in the Shoe, and barring a complete lack of focus this week, Ohio State should cruise to a comfortable victory.

Miami is just 1-2 this season, with its only win coming against a Football Championship Subdivision team (Tennessee Tech); on Saturday, the RedHawks were defeated 35-13 by Cincinnati, which was defeated 42-0 by Ohio State two weekends ago.
