Most of us had Ohio State winning big last week but Peter Burtnett’s margin of victory was the closest so he was the winner. With that he has the honor of going first.
Peter: The Buckeyes come into this game with less momentum then they could have, going from a 28-0 first quarter lead to a 45-21 win over FAU. It’s not disastrous by any means, but shows that the Buckeyes still have areas to improve.
The Bearcats head into Columbus with the expectation to win. History may not be on their side (no in-state team has beaten the Buckeyes since 1921, home or away) but talent and motivation are both there for a potentially historic upset.
