Ohio State is back in the Horseshoe this Saturday, hosting its second-straight nonconference game against Conference USA foe, Western Kentucky. The Buckeyes will try to remain unbeaten and run their record to 3-0, but the Hilltoppers should provide a stiff challenge to the Ohio State defense with a high-flying offense that stresses teams schematically.
The defensive side of the ball isn’t anything to write home about, but there’s still some concerns when facing a team that can try to outscore the opponent. Still, it’ll be an uphill climb for the Hilltoppers to come into the ‘Shoe and knock off one of the best teams in the country, and head coach Tyson Helton is fully aware of that.
