Game Thread Ohio at #1 tOSU, Sat. Sept. 13th, 7 ET on Peacock

[Buckerooni]

Grew up in Columbus and got my undergrad at OSU - but my grad degree at OU, and I worked there for a while. Was in Athens in 2010 when Rufus went rogue at the OSU game. I laughed so hard at that kid's interviews in the local press. He did achieve his heart's (strangely long-held and specific) desire that day. The whole thing was a lot of fun for me - as a known Buckeye fan, I had a lot of good-natured laughs with my Bobcat colleagues, after the fact.

I predict no mascot-on-mascot violence this time, and 42-14, Buckeyes.

Top-Ranked Ohio State Opens As A 34.5-Point Favorite Over Ohio University Ahead of Saturday Night's Matchup in Ohio Stadium​

Fresh off a 70-0 thrashing of Grambling State moving it to 2-0, Ryan Day's program gets back at it next Saturday night when they take on Ohio University at 7 p.m. in Ohio Stadium.

The Bobcats, fresh off a 17-10 home win over West Virginia in which they outgained the Mountaineers 429-250 and limited WVU to 72 rushing yards on 2.6 per attempt improved to 1-1 on the season.

Oddsmakers of course still see the Buckeyes as having a significant advantage, with DraftKings installing Ohio State as 34.5-point favorites in their opening line released today.

The Buckeyes are 2-0 against the spread so far this season, beating Texas as a 1-point favorite in Week One (OSU was a 'dog on some betting sites) and easily covering as 55.5-point favorites yesterday against Grambling State in what was the biggest spread in Ohio State history.
