Ohio State Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2018
By Shane Lunnen
After a much needed off week, Ohio State turns to the last month of the regular season. Nebraska travels to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes.
The Cornhusker faithful got their wish this offseason with the hiring of former Nebraska quarterback Scott Frost to replace Mike Riley. Frost led UCF led to an undefeated season a year ago and a self-proclaimed national championship. The expectations for Frost to lead his alma mater back to the top of the college football mountain are through the roof. Hopefully, the school and the fans will give Frost time and not run him off like they did Bo Pelini who averaged nine wins per season over seven years. For at least this season the Cornhuskers need to temper their expectations.
While Nebraska should avoid getting embarrassed against Ohio State like they were a year ago, this game should be relatively easy for Urban Meyer and his team. An extra week to prepare will help the Buckeyes get ready for Frost’s tempo offense. Dwayne Haskins will have a solid day by throwing for a pair of scores while scoring two more on the ground.
Final: Nebraska 17, Ohio State 34 (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten)
