Akron vs. Ohio State Buckeyes Wire staff predictions

The Ohio State football team now sits at 2-1 after an unconvincing win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane last Saturday. I know the scoreboard said the Buckeyes won 41-20, which sounds impressive, but anyone who watched the game was scared until the very end.

This week the Buckeyes will play the Akron Zips who sit at 1-2 and just came off their first victory over FCS competitor, Bryant. The Buckeyes are favored by more than seven touchdowns, but this game will still be extremely interesting to watch considering Kyle McCord or Jack Miller is likely going to get their first start while C.J. Stroud takes a game off to rest his shoulder.

We are onto our staff predictions for the Akron game. We all predicted a Buckeye victory last week, but we were all wrong predicting extreme blow-outs, but lets see what we have for Akron.

The Buckeyes should have their way and get backups in for the second half as a final tune-up before the remainder of the Big Ten season gets underway.
