Ohio State's fourth game in eight days comes at home against a Nebraska team coming off its biggest win of the season. 

The Cornhuskers travel to Columbus fresh off of their 20-point win over No. 23 ranked Michigan on Thursday, and had the entire weekend to prepare for the Buckeyes, a team that is as hot as anyone in the country. 

The main concern for Ohio State, however, has to be fatigue. The first three games of the Buckeyes' current four-game stretch came on the road, as Chris Holtmann's squad has been on six flights to Piscataway, N.J., Rosemont, Ill., and New York City and back to Columbus over the last eight days. 

Holtmann said following a 67-49 win over Minnesota on Saturday that the Ohio State coaching staff is trying to monitor the minutes of certain Buckeyes, but also knows his team isn't as deep as others. 

"Our strength coach (Quadrian Banks) is taking some time (Sunday) with our high-minute guys and doing some extensive rehab and consultation with some doctors," Holtmann said. "We are keeping a close eye on some things. It is a concern for me, the number of minutes and number of games our guys have played."

Ohio State's top three scorers – Keita Bates-Diop, C.J. Jackson and Jae'Sean Tate – average 31.8, 29.8 and 29.2 minutes per game respectively, and make them the most likely candidates to receive rest before tip against Nebraska on Monday night.

This would be a big time win but also think we are playing a bit with house money here. OSU wont take us lightly after the Michigan game. Next 4 games in 8 days, think we need to go 3-1 and fully expect this is the 1 loss.
