COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -It’s easy for teams such as Ohio State to get excited about playing a ranked opponent, a league foe or a big rival.
Yet for the second week in a row the second-ranked Buckeyes must focus on a heavy underdog that is just hoping to avoid getting squashed.
The Buckeyes appeared to be fully attentive to overmatched Ohio University on Saturday, a game which kicked off a string of four straight matchups against teams with a decided disadvantage in talent. This week’s opponent, Eastern Michigan, which has its last 15 games, is a 42 1/2-point underdog.
Like Ohio University, Eastern Michigan is a Mid-American Conference team that will get an $850,000 check in hopes of staying close. Next up for Ohio State are Big Ten matchups.
