Buckeye here. The past two years Ohio State has only lost one game, both of them to B1G West opponents in blowouts on the road and at night. Needless to say, it wouldn't surprise me if the Buckeyes lay another egg, this time in Lincoln. My hope is, of course, that the new defensive brain trust will improve our D dramatically. Last year's defense was the worst I've seen in Columbus since John Cooper's first year in 1988.
Our offense will live or die based on how well our new QB (Justin Fields) plays. I wasn't impressed with what I saw of spring ball, but perhaps I shouldn't put too much stock into that.
