The Ohio State Buckeyes put up basketball-like numbers in their total annihilation of the Miami (OH) Redhawks last week. Having now completed a pristine, 3-0 non-conference slate, the Buckeyes (which boast a 4-0 overall mark) are ready to get back into Big Ten play as they travel to take on Nebraska in Lincoln.
Last season, in head coach Scott Frost’s inaugural year, Nebraska went 4-8 overall, including 3-6 in the Big Ten. After the Huskers’ season opener against Akron was cancelled due to lightning, Nebraska posted six-straight losses to start the season. However, compared obviously to their early-season run, the Huskers managed quite the comeback in the second half of the year with wins over Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan State and, it should be noted, a narrow, five-point loss to the Buckeyes in Columbus.
