COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – It’s been an eventful start for Ohio State. Now the fun begins.
The Buckeyes (3-1) survived the non-conference portion of their schedule with only one slip, a 24-6 loss at Miami. Along the way, they discovered they could get by without three suspended starters on offense, including their best receiver and top rusher, while also sorting out a muddled competition at quarterback.
Now Michigan State (3-1) comes to Ohio Stadium on Saturday in the Big Ten opener.
This is the first of a series of tests for both teams. After hosting the Spartans, the Buckeyes play at No. 8 Nebraska, at No. 24 Illinois, have a bye week and then entertain No. 7 Wisconsin. After the visit to Columbus, the Spartans have a bye week, then host No. 19 Michigan and Wisconsin before hitting the road to play the Cornhuskers.
